As many of you reading this may recall, Camden, Ohio antiques dealer David Good sold much of his lifelong antiques collection and dealer inventory in January of this year through New Haven Auctions in Branford, Connecticut. Although, some objects from Good's collection were also included in New Haven Auctions sale yesterday, which featured consignments from various owners.
Among those objects was a multi-colored nineteenth century slip decorated red earthenware bowl, adorned with a two-color slip decorated motif in the center; the use of colors on this piece is similar to wares made at a number of potteries in places like Berks County, Pennsylvania in the 1800s, as well as elsewhere in southeastern Pennsylvania in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. But the thought is that this bowl was more likely manufactured in Maryland, circa 1780-1830, perhaps in Hagerstown, Maryland.
In fact, I posted an article on this website in June of 2019 that showed various artifacts that were recovered from an early 1800s archaeological context in Cearfoss, Maryland, where the domestic red earthenware from this site was thought to have originated in Hagerstown. Those artifacts include various rim sherds that are similar in decoration to the way the slip adorns this rim.
From my perspective, the way the back of this bowl was manufactured also seems different than the typical single colored slip decorated bowls that are attributed to Pennsylvania today from the 1800s. Nonetheless, the bowl did very well selling for $8,500 plus the auction premiums.
