A Good Early Massachusetts Red Earthenware Pitcher Sells at New England Auctions in Connecticut

Another good auction that recently took place was the collection of Lincoln and Jean Sander that sold this past Thursday at New England Auctions in Brantford, Connecticut. Furthermore, the sale included a good eighteenth or early nineteenth century red earthenware pitcher from the southern part of Massachusetts, and most likely Bristol County. 

The pitcher was included in a group lot that also consisted of a nineteenth century mottled green glazed red earthenware jug from New England and a nineteenth century red earthenware jar with an added lid that was not original to this object, which was likely made in Connecticut. 

There was some wear to the glaze on the pitcher, although overall it is a very good example of early Massachusetts red earthenware production. The lot sold for $500 plus the buyer's premium.

For more information about the red earthenware made in the southern part of Massachusetts, I suggest my fourth book in my pottery book series, titled, A Celebrated Industry: The Historic Wares of Southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County and Cape Cod: https://historicbeverly.net/product/a-celebrated-industry-the-historic-wares-of-southeastern-massachusetts-bristol-county-and-cape-cod/
