A Very Good 19th Century Red Earthenware Pitcher with a Striped Glaze from New England

I had never visited the Walker Homestead Antiques and Primitive Goods Show in Brookfield, Massachusetts before, although I decided to finally check it out today. This is where I came across this outstanding likely unintentionally striped glazed red earthenware pitcher that was brought to the show by antiques dealer Ian McKelvey. I asked him if it retained any type of history, but none that he could recall other than he just pulled it out of storage in New England earlier this week.

I suspect the pitcher was made in Vermont, circa 1800-1840, but the stripes also remind me of some red earthenware pitchers that were manufactured by the Bradford family in Kingston, Massachusetts in the 1800s. A variety of these types of pitchers are also illustrated in 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/.
