19th Century Slip-Script Red Earthenware Platter Related to an Object Recovered in Manhattan

As some of you may already know, Flying Pig Antiques in Westmoreland, New Hampshire has been listing some of their inventory on their Etsy page. Moments ago, I was thrilled to acquire this wonderful nineteenth century slip-script red earthenware platter from Flying Pig Antiques, which I think reads, "Sukey." Sukey is an eighteenth century girl's name of English origin, and is a derivative of the name Susan.

Although, what really caught my attention about this object is that it is likely from the same manufacturer as a rare slip-script red earthenware platter recovered from an early-to-mid nineteenth century context in Manhattan by Scott Jordan and Maribelle Costes that reads, "Emily." 

For more information about this type of production recovered in New York City, see the research articles I have written in the past few years for Maine Antique Digest, Antiques & the Arts Weekly and Untapped New York.
