A Good 19th Century Red Earthenware Jar that Recently Sold in New York

As I noted in a post earlier this week, titled, A Good Large 19th Century Green Glazed Red Earthenware Jar Sells at Hyde Park Country Auctions in New York & Other Auction Results, "This is a good red earthenware object that I recently purchased at Hyde Park Country Auctions in Poughkeepsie, New York, whereas I will post better pictures when it arrives later this week."

Nonetheless, the jar arrived yesterday and it is much better than I expected in both form and the light green or rust-yellow colored glaze (changes color in different types of lighting)! I had also suggested in the previous post that this jar may have been made in Vermont or New York State, however, I now suspect that it is more likely from northern New England, perhaps Vermont or New Hampshire.

According to the auction house, "The jar came from an estate filled with Americana in Ulster County, New York." It is unclear where the jar was found before that, although Ulster County is located in eastern upstate New York along the Hudson River.

I also wrote in that post earlier this week, "I believe this jar might be related to some cream colored glazed red earthenware jars and jugs that are known today, where the jugs have a northern New England look to the form." After careful inspection and comparison, I still believe this may be the case with this jar that stands over eleven inches tall and retains its original lid.

Note: For more information about red earthenware production in New Hampshire, Vermont and New York - see two books I wrote that were published earlier this year:

1) America's Great Awakening and Migration: The Red Earthenware of Western New York, two volumes, 1,400 pages: https://historicbeverly.net/product/103125/
