An Outstanding Red Earthenware Jug Made at the William Pecker Pottery in Massachusetts

I posted this jug to my Facebook and Instagram accounts yesterday, writing, "Love this jug! This is one of the best red earthenware jugs that I have ever seen from the circa 1790s-1820 William Pecker (1757-1820) Pottery in South Amesbury (Merrimacport), Massachusetts, which I just acquired today! The size and glaze are something else!"

Additionally, a very similar jug is kept as part of the Lura Woodside Watkins (1897-1982) Collection at the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., whereas that jug is also pictured in Figure 40b in Early New England Potters and Their Wares. Although, this jug that I picked up yesterday is actually one-inch larger, standing twelve inches tall.

For more information about the potteries in South Amesbury and Merrimacport, I suggest my fourth book published as part of the my New England pottery book series, titled, South Amesbury's Red Earthenware & Stoneware: The 1791-1820 William Pecker Pottery. The book is available in bookstores in America, Canada and England, although here is a link to purchase it directly from my publisher Historic Beverly in Massachusetts: https://historicbeverly.net/product/south-amesburys-red-earthenware-stoneware-production/
