This is a really good nineteenth century red earthenware pitcher from either Western New York or northern New England that I picked up yesterday from Dave Hillier at Antiques Associates at West Townsend in Massachusetts, although I feel the pitcher could be related to production in the Concord and Lyndeborough, New Hampshire area before 1840. The pitcher was previously owned in the 1970s by New York City ceramic specialist Garrison Stradling before being sold through Garth's in Columbus, Ohio in 1980, and more recently, Crocker Farm in Sparks, Maryland in March 2017.
Furthermore, with the completion of my sixth 539-page book, titled, A City on the River: The Early Red Earthenware of the Hartford, Connecticut Area, which will be back from the printer soon and available through Historic Beverly in Massachusetts, as well as various retailers across America; I am now in the final stages of my seventh 400 or so page book, titled, From One Town Came Many: The Red Earthenware Industry of Ancient North Yarmouth, Maine; however, I want to announce that I have begun work on my eighth book, tentatively titled, An Influential Family of Early Potters: The Clark Family's Multigenerational Pottery Production in New Hampshire and Related Businesses and Potters.
For reference: I am hoping for a fall or early winter 2023 publication date for the Maine book, and the New Hampshire book will hopefully be available in the spring of 2024. In the meantime, if you feel that you have any objects that are related to these areas of production and want to include them in either book - please contact me as soon as possible!
