A Late 18th or Early 19th Century Slip Decorated Red Earthenware Bottle or Flask

This is a late eighteenth or early nineteenth century slip decorated red earthenware bottle or flask that recently sold on eBay, which piqued my interest, although I don't know the manufacturer or the area it was made. The rounded foot is a type found with early production along coastal Massachusetts and with the Clark family in New Hampshire, etc. - https://historicbeverly.net/product/an-influential-family-of-early-potters-the-clarks-of-new-hampshire-and-related-businesses/.

However, the bottle or flask was sold out of Virginia, and this type of footed base was also produced in places like southeastern Pennsylvania so I'm not sure where it originated. But it is an early object that I thought was rather appealing.

It sold very reasonably; $220.50.

Note: This type of foot produced in New England will also be included in my forthcoming two-volume, 1,404-page, tenth book, titled, An Early Industry of Household Wares: The Red Earthenware of Salem Village, Danvers, Peabody, Beverly and Salem, Massachusetts.
