Here is another very interesting find from yesterday at Antiques Week in New Hampshire, which I came across in my friend Matt Greig's booth at the antiques show in Deerfield, New Hampshire that he recently discovered at a flea market in Ohio. And while the initial reaction might be to say that the rim is damaged, it is the form that I am fascinated with which I believe was made in Western New York, although it also has an Ontario and New England look to it.
The reason that I am intrigued with this form is because it is possibly a bottle otherwise a vase with a flared rim - and the shape certainly appears like it is influenced by Asian production from the 1800s.Interestingly, the China Trade was prevalent all over the American East Coast during this period, even along the Erie Canal, extending from New York City up through western New York and Ontario. In theory, the form of this object may have been influenced by the China Trade and those types of wares that were being shipped to America, seeing that it is a form rarely found with utilitarian potters in the Northeast during the circa 1820-1860 period.
Note: There are some related forms known from early potters in New England and Pennsylvania, such as a vase without the flared rim made by Thomas Vickers in Chester County, Pennsylvania that recently sold in Crocker Farm's spring 2022 sale in Sparks, Maryland.
