I thought this lot sold for a very reasonable price yesterday at Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates in Mount Crawford, Virginia, selling for just $40 plus the auction premium. The lot consisted of seven different objects.
However, what really caught my attention were the pair of related nineteenth century red earthenware pitchers, whereas this type of pitcher has been somewhat of a mystery through the years with the manganese decoration applied upside down on every object that I have seen, which includes one pitcher that sold in the Kelly Young Collection at Crocker Farm in January 2010: https://www.crockerfarm.com/stoneware-auction/2010-01-30/lot-111/Glazed-Redware-Pitcher/.
Nevertheless, I posted a story to this website back in 2015 based on information that was shared by Long Island collector and Ceramics in America contributing writer Anthony Butera Jr., which seems to identify the origin of these types of objects. That information came from an article written by Jeannette Lasansky for the October 1990 issue of The Magazine Antiques titled, Pennsylvania Pottery in Berks County Collections, which illustrated a related nineteenth century red earthenware noggin decorated with the same type of glaze; Lasansky identified the object as having been produced in southeastern Pennsylvania during the circa 1800-1850 period.
Note: For the rest of the pottery in yesterday's sale - see the auction catalog: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/341128_summer-americana-day-four/.
