One final update on my forthcoming New Hampshire book, titled, An Influential Family of Early Potters: The Clarks of New Hampshire and Related Businesses; I finished editing the proof copy yesterday, where the book runs 709-pages and is 13 chapters in length.
The book covers red earthenware production throughout New Hampshire, including Hillsborough County, Cheshire County, Grafton County, Belknap County, the Lake Winnipesaukee area, North Conway, New Hampshire, the Portsmouth, New Hampshire area, parts of Vermont, some production in Essex County, Massachusetts, pre-1775 production in Charlestown, Masssachusetts, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, some production from Bristol County, Massachusetts and some information about Hartford, Connecticut, as well as a lot more!
For those who want to purchase the book - I will post information on this website and my social media accounts as soon as it is available from my publisher Historic Beverly in Massachusetts, along with retailers and bookstores all over.
Nonetheless, this nineteenth century red earthenware jar is a very good example of the type of wares discussed in a chapter in the book about some production in Cheshire and Grafton Counties. The jar was most likely made in Cheshire County, where there was a production center that was part of Marlborough and Dublin, New Hampshire, known as Chesham Village, although there was more production in this county that had this type of look to it than just this one location.
