Flea Market Find: A Signed Red Earthenware Bottle Probably Made by Zedith Teague Garner in North Carolina

In the collection of the North Carolina Pottery Center in Seagrove, North Carolina is a twentieth century red earthenware jug made by Zedith Teague Garner (1926-1976) at Teague's Pottery in Moore County, North Carolina. The base of this jug is partly inscribed "3 75 / Teagues."

Nevertheless, I found a red earthenware bottle at a Massachusetts flea market yesterday morning with the same inscription, whereas the bottle retains a history of ownership over the last 30-40 years in the Boston area.

Zedith Teague Garner was the daughter of Brian "Ducky" Dewey Teague and Bessie Lee Craven Teague (granddaughter of J.D. Craven), both prominent names in the history of pottery production in North Carolina.

Note: Thanks to Kevin Long for helping accurately identify this object.
