A Great 19th Century Green Glazed Red Earthenware Jar From New Hampshire

I love this jar and how bright the glaze is in direct sunlight! I acquired this outstanding green glazed nineteenth century red earthenware jar from a friend in a parking lot yesterday in New Hampshire, whereas I missed out on it last month in an online auction while driving to Manhattan. 

The jar was most likely made in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, circa 1840 or so, and it was previously owned as part of Roger Pheulpin's lifelong collection in Gloucester Massachusetts. 

Furthermore, it is difficult to be more specific about what potter's business made this object, seeing that there were a number of businesses located in southwestern New Hampshire during this period, although it was most likely made in the Dublin and Marlborough area, often referred to in the past as Chesham Village.

For more information about this object, see my five-page research story published in the March 2023 issue of Maine Antique Digest, titled, Abner S. Wight's Red Earthenware Production in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
