An Early Black Glazed Red Earthenware Bowl Found in Cambridge, Massachusetts

This was a lucky $18 find in Boston (Cambridge) yesterday! In fact, I was very surprised to find this eighteenth or early nineteenth century refined black glazed red earthenware bowl, which I believe was most likely made in coastal Massachusetts. Although, coastal New Hampshire and coastal Maine are also possibilities. 

Furthermore, I have seen these types of refined black glazed bowls recovered from various archaeological contexts in these areas, which include potter’s sites and the location of industries, circa 1730s-1840 or so. 

Additionally, this type of production is discussed in five of my current and future New England pottery books that can be found listed through my publisher Historic Beverly's online shop: https://historicbeverly.net/shop/
