While visiting Rachael and Josh Gurley's annual antiques show today at the Deerfield, New Hampshire Fairgrounds, as part of Antiques Weeks In New Hampshire, I came across a small late eighteenth or nineteenth century red earthenware jug in the booth of Maine antiques dealer Thom Moser. I have known about this object for a few years now, seeing that it was previously owned by Ohio antiques dealer David Good, although, I have never been able to pinpoint an area where I felt it could have been made
However, while looking at the handle today it sort of reminded me of some production that I have worked with for my forthcoming New Hampshire book. A great object, nonetheless; it could also be from Massachusetts.
Note: There was also a late eighteenth or nineteenth century green glazed red earthenware jug in Thom Moser's booth from Bristol County, Massachusetts. This jug was previously owned by Connecticut antiques dealer and collector Lew Scranton, as well as being published 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/.
