A Wonderful 19th Century Red Earthenware Pan Purchased Just Outside of Buffalo, New York

While vacationing in Western New York earlier this month with my nephew Jason and niece Alexis, we purchased this great nineteenth century pan from Muleskinner Antiques in Williamsville, New York. We were told the pan was purchased from a private collector in Virginia, who did a lot of their collecting in Western New York.

At first, it did not even cross my mind that I should handle this piece because the way it was displayed made it look like stoneware. The pan stood upright and all that I could see was the interior. I eventually picked it up out of curiosity, and was really surprised that some glaze skips and a few chips on the back revealed that it was actually made of red earthenware.

The stoneware appearance was likely the intent of this piece when it was made, and I suspect that it was made in either Western New York or Ontario. This type of stoneware imitation was not really popular with red earthenware production anywhere else in America, thus why I suggest the origin that I did.

Nevertheless, I was thrilled to see this piece, which is decorated in a gray glaze that is a perfect match to the color found on a lot of nineteenth century American stoneware.
