A 19th Century Red Earthenware Pitcher Possibly from Hagerstown, Maryland

While visiting southeastern Pennsylvania last week, I picked up this very good nineteenth century red earthenware pitcher decorated with a multi-colored marbled type design in slip. The pitcher had previously sold through Crocker Farm in the spring of 2022, although the form and glaze of this object really stood out to me. 

Furthermore, I suspect this pitcher was manufactured in Hagerstown, Maryland about 1830, whereas the shape seems to be related to other known Hagerstown pitchers and the style of the glaze is reminiscent to some slip decorated bowls made in Hagerstown.

For more information about pottery made in Hagerstown, I suggest an article that I posted to this website in June of 2019, titled, Early-19th Century Red Earthenware and Slipware Recovered in Cearfoss, Maryland: http://www.earlyamericanceramics.com/2019/06/early-19th-century-red-earthenware-and.html
