A Late 18th or Early 19th Century Green Glazed Red Earthenware Jar with a Lid

I have owned this large circa 1780-1830 green glazed red earthenware jar from Southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County or Cape Cod for about a decade now, although I just acquired the lid a few months ago from a friend, and it’s not a perfect match, but it fits good and I suspect it’s from the same area. 

Furthermore, this is a rather rare form and glaze color to come across today, whereas this might be the largest green glazed jar of this type that I have seen, measuring eleven inches tall without the lid. Another green glazed jar of this type was previously owned by noted collector Charles D. Cook, who had some of his collection featured in the October 1931 issue of The Magazine Antiques.

For more information about this type of production, see my fifth book, 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/
