19th Century New England Red Earthenware Jar Sells in Freeport, Maine

This excellent nineteenth century red earthenware jar just sold on Sunday September 8, 2019 at Casco Bay Auctions in Freeport, Maine. It was the firm's inaugural antiques auction. And while I cannot say specifically where this jar was made, I suspect that it was manufactured somewhere in northern New England. 

The combination of colors is quite attractive, combined with the shape and the incised decoration. However, this was a highly competitive lot in the sale seeing that there were 79 different bids.
