Forthcoming Research Article and Three New Hampshire Red Earthenware Jars

I posted these pictures last night on my Instagram account, writing, "These are three nineteenth century red earthenware jars that I believe were made in Chesham Village in Dublin, New Hampshire, circa 1830-1850. These jars will eventually be published in a research story I wrote about Abner S. Wight (1822-1905), a potter who worked in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the 1800s, although, that story will not be out for a while because of a number of other articles I already have heading to publication. 

I bought the jar that my niece is holding some years ago from Massachusetts antiques dealer, Sam Herrup and it also has a lid that was likely made in Dublin. I purchased the pair of jars when I first began studying red earthenware at a sale at Northeast Auctions in Manchester, New Hampshire. All three are rare survivors because of the size and green glazes. A few similar examples can be found in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C."

I do want to note that when the Wight article is published that a tremendous red earthenware advertising churn will be included, which was made by Wight likely as an apprentice at his father's pottery in Marlborough, New Hampshire. That churn is currently owned in a prominent private collection in Ohio, although, it was previously owned by Hilary and Paulette Nolan on Cape Cod and sold in the Susan and Raymond Egan Collection at Northeast Auctions in 2006.
