This is just a helpful post about some types of earthenware that I have seen in abundance through the years in the American northeast, which is most likely European made, although it can be mistaken for American production. In fact, it was about ten years ago that I first saw this earthenware jar sell at an auction in northern New England for $600 plus the buyer's premium. I thought it was an attractive jar, but I was not sure of the maker and I also suspected it was not American. Since then, I have seen a few other jars exactly like this example sell at other auctions in New England and New York.
However, while walking around the antique shows this past May in Brimfied, Massachusetts I came across a dealer's booth with about twenty-five of these jars for sale. I asked him about the manufacturer's history, and he told me they were European imports.
Furthermore, a selection of seven of these jars sold last month at Public Sale Auction House in Hudson, New York. The country of origin was not identified, although the lot sold for $400 plus the buyer's premium: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/214306500_group-of-7-redware-storage-jars-vases-hudson-ny.
Here is an additional example of this type of jar pictured with another type of pottery that has also been imported over the last twenty years. This second type was produced in a wide variety of forms and is typically adorned with various slip decorations. I suspect this is also a European manufacturer from the nineteenth or twentieth century.
Please Stay Tuned...Much More to Come...
