A Quick Look At Forthcoming Eleventh Book - A Monumental History: Stories of Red Earthenware Production in Western Massachusetts, the Berkshires and Vermont

This is a great artifact that will be published in the 500-600 page eleventh book I'm working on now with New York historian Warren Broderick, among others, titled, A Monumental History: Stories of Red Earthenware Production in Western Massachusetts, the Berkshires and Vermont.

This nineteenth century black glazed red earthenware teapot and lid was excavated in the 1980s at the Ozias Atherton (1788-1831) site along Route 2 in Moretown, Washington County, Vermont. The early homestead was built in 1810 and destroyed by a flood in 1837. The teapot was likely made at the Thomas Crafts Pottery in Whately, Massachusetts, circa 1820s.
