My Niece Discovers a Red Earthenware Pot from Merrimacport, Massachusetts in Concord, New Hampshire

After visiting the White Mountain National Forest this past weekend in New Hampshire, my niece, Alexis and myself decided to stop at a vintage-type shop on our way home in Concord, New Hampshire. It was in this shop that she was quite excited to find her first piece of red earthenware made at the circa 1790-1820 William Pecker Pottery in Merrimacport, Massachusetts for only $9.

We found it sitting in a small booth mixed in with all sorts of other pottery. Interesting, it was just last weekend that my niece found a nearly perfect similar sized pot in Ogunquit, Maine for just $6 that was likely made in Peabody, Massachusetts around the same period.

While the history of this pot is unknown, it is possible that it was found somewhere in central New Hampshire. This refined form is a known style from the Pecker Pottery, and it is always exciting when we are able to identify a piece of pottery that has been somewhat forgotten through the years.
