A 20th Century Blue Glazed Stoneware Pitcher from East Bloomfield, New York

This is another object that I recently found in New England that goes with my most recent article published in the June 30th issue of Antiques And The Arts Weekly, titled, Guy Daugherty: A Roadside Craftsmen Potter. I found this blue glazed miniature stoneware pitcher a few weeks ago in a shop in downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts, and what struck my interest about it was the fact that it retained its original company sticker, reading, "Roadside Craftsmen East Bloomfield, N.Y."

For more information - see my post on this website from a few days ago that discusses the published article and provides some more details about the latest site of the business, which I just learned has a small display of this type of pottery (among other Roadside Craftsmen objects) inside the building: http://www.earlyamericanceramics.com/2023/06/new-published-story-in-antiques-and.html

Additionally, here is a link to an interesting article that was published about this company in the Freeman's Journal in 1942: http://www.wemett.net/roadside_craftsmen/roadside_craftsmen_articles/freeman%27s_journal/roadside_handicraft_shop.pdf
