A Collection Of Red Earthenware That Sold Today On Cape Cod

Prices were strong today for a private red earthenware collection sold at Eldred’s on Cape Cod. The sale featured pieces from several historic American manufacturers, including the Bradford family of southeastern Massachusetts, the Quaker potters of Bristol County, Massachusetts, and the William Pecker (1757-1820) Pottery of Merrimacport, Massachusetts. Maine was also well represented with wares from the North Yarmouth industry and the John Corliss Pottery in Days Ferry: https://www.eldreds.com/auction-catalog/americana-week-session-iii_ZK66PUPGLT

For me, the most intriguing object was a late eighteenth or early nineteenth century pitcher, which I suspect originated in the Danvers and Salem area. This piece will be featured in a chapter of my forthcoming tenth book—a two-volume work titled, An Early Industry of Household Wares: The Red Earthenware of Salem Village, Danvers, Peabody, Beverly and Salem, Massachusetts. The pitcher sold for $2,300 plus the buyer's premium: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/235316187_maine-redware-pottery-pitcher-19th-century-height-7-east-dennis-ma
