Last fall, I shared a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a lifelong collection of Maine-made red earthenware on this website, which quickly sold to a private collector. Now, the final pieces from a similar distinguished collection are available.
While I have recently featured a few of these late eighteenth- and/or early nineteenth century objects on this website, they represent the remainder of the redware portion of a major American private antiques collection. This specific redware group was carefully curated in the 1990s and early 2000s, purchased from prominent dealers and advanced collectors. These objects have also been published in two of my books; A Celebrated Industry: The Historic Wares of Southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County and Cape Cod, as well as A City on the River: The Early Red Earthenware of the Hartford, Connecticut Area.
These final pieces also originate from the same collection as the renowned, colorfully glazed Bristol County jug, originally from the Hilary and Paulette Nolan collection—widely considered by many to be the finest example of a Bristol County jug known to exist today. These remaining objects are now available to purchase as a single group; please contact Antique Associates at West Townsend in Massachusetts for more information: https://www.aaawt.com/about/
