Stoneware Displayed at the Rochester Museum and Science Center in Rochester, New York

While vacationing in western New York a few months ago, I took my nephew and niece to the Rochester Museum and Science Center in Rochester, New York. This museum along with George Hamell excavated the site of some of the most important nineteenth century potteries in this region in the twentieth century, and this is also where the archaeology is kept today. The museum also owns some excellent examples of locally made red earthenware and stoneware.

We only stayed at the museum for about an hour, and I spent some of that time admiring all of the following objects, much of which represent Colonial pottery imported into the American colonies in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Although, the museum also had some locally made stoneware on display that was made near the museum in the 1800s.
