19th Century Red Earthenware Jar Sells at Meander Auctions in Ohio

This nineteenth century red earthenware jar probably from northern New England or Western New York recently sold as part of Meander Auctions May 16, 2026 Sale in Whipple, Ohio. The jar was consigned from a private Ohio collection and is decorated with a vibrant multi-colored glaze, though there is some minor glaze loss around the base and a crack extending down from the rim: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/maine-redware-jar-59-c-459602597c?srsltid=AfmBOoqjus8v2RWhRivcUXH_ST8-RemoO8UMIGNFkjho1fkg87RgVd5Y.

The jar sold for $3,250 plus the buyer's premium. Nevertheless, I want to add that this type of glaze was also popular with other manufacturers in places like West Virginia, Ohio and Ontario, Canada, etc.
