Early 19th Century Red Earthenware Jar Appears on PBS' Antiques Roadshow

On the most recent episode of Antiques Roadshow, Leigh Keno appraised an early nineteenth century slip decorated red earthenware jar, dated in slip "1818" with initials, which was said to have been made in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The shape of this jar is similar to another jar owned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art reportedly made by the Vickers family in Chester County: https://www.philamuseum.org/objects/149090.
