An Important Slip-Decorated Red Earthenware Jar that is Owned by Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Earlier today, I visited Strawbery Banke's storage department in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in order to study (and photograph) the museum's collection of eighteenth and nineteenth-century American-made red earthenware. The museum's collection mostly consists of products, which would have been used in Portsmouth in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries.

I was also already aware of a large slip-deocrated jar, which I viewed last year when I visited the museum with Massachusetts antiques dealer, Samuel Herrup; however, I could not remember exactly how it appeared.

When I saw that slip-decorated jar today, I instantly realized that the slip-decoration was basically undoubtedly applied by the same hand as was the slip-decoration on a jar that I found earlier this week. I found that jar in the rain at the 'New England Motel and Antiques Market Show' in Brimfield, Massachusetts. The dealer told me that he recently found the jar in a house in Danbury, Connecticut.

Strawbery Banke's jar is also accompanied with a strong history, where it was gifted to the museum in 1975 when the museum was pursuing objects, which pertained to everyday life in Portsmouth in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries. The museum's jar was reportedly found in New Hampshire by famed Brentwood, New Hampshire antiques dealer, Roger Bacon before 1975, but he could have discovered it years earlier, as well.

Roger gifted the jar to Strawbery Banke, among other red earthenware objects, which appear to have been mostly from southern New Hampshire and Essex County, Massachusetts potters, such as the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company (circa 1764-1799)  in Newburyport, Massachusetts and the William Pecker Pottery (circa 1790-1820) in Merrimacport, Massachusetts.

It should be important to note, as well that pottery from the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company has been recovered in various eighteenth-century archaeological contexts in Portsmouth, and elsewhere in New Hampshire.

There is no doubt that Daniel Bayley was exporting his wares to places like Salem, Massachusetts, Portland, Maine and even to military forts spread throughout Maine and Canada. There is strong evidence to support this claim.

These are the comparable characteristic between the two jars of discussion, which are also shown below.

  1. The lead glaze colors are very similar.
  2. The hand that applied the slip appears to be the same hand.
  3. The bases are both partially glazed, which may have been accidental.
  4. I assume that the jar I found in Brimfield may have also originally had a lid.
  5. The objects are both a similar size.
  6. The footed bases are also very similar. 
  7. The color of the clay matches.
Note: I have also shown pictures of slip-decoraed sherds collected at the site of the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company by Massachusetts author, Lura Woodside Watkins ('Early New England Potters and Their Wares') in the 1930's, as-well-as Daniel Bayley Pottery sherds recovered in archaeological contexts in New England and Canada before 1790. I have also shown some of the other red earthenware objects that were gifted by Roger Bacon to Strawbery Banke in 1975.

The Continued Study Into a Rare Red Earthenware Jar that was Discovered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

I wrote about a rare late-eighteenth or nineteenth-century red earthenware jar yesterday that was found a few years ago at an estate sale in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Personally, I believe the jar was likely made in Pennsylvania; although, verifying where this jar was actually made could be prove difficult since I have never seen another object like it before.

However, there are characteristics about this jar, which could also be compared to objects that were produced by red earthenware potters in upstate western New York in the 1800's. This comparison is very interesting.


  1. The form of this jar is similar to jars, which were produced at the Lorenzo Johnson Pottery in Erie County, New York in the mid-nineteenth-century.
  2. The incised decoration is comparable to decoration, which was applied at the Charles Gleason Pottery in Morganville, New York in the mid-nineteenth-century.
  3. The highly unusual handles are somewhat comparable to handles that were manufactured at the Charles Mehwaldt Pottery in Bergholz, New York in the late-nineteenth-century.
Note: Pictures of these three comparisons are shown below.

A Red Earthenware Pot that was Recently Found in an Old House in Otisfield, Maine

This is another red earthenware object that I bought this week in Brimfield, Massachusetts. Limington, Maine antiques dealer, Bill Kelly brought this wonderful lidded nineteenth-century Maine-made red earthenware pot, which came from an early cape in Otisfield, Maine. The home's contents were sold at a small local auction, and this pot came out of the house along with many examples of late-nineteenth-century factory produced stoneware.

I do not know what potter's business is responsible for this object; although, I am fairly certain that it was made in Maine during the circa 1820-1860 period. This could be from a potter's business that is not widely known today.

Maine is known to have employed many red earthenware potter's business in the 1800's, but they are not all identified today. I like to refer to some of these businesses as "backyard potters" since they were not all full-time potters. Some of these potters may have been seasonal, while other potters may have only occasionally fired a kiln load of pottery every few years.

The glaze on this pot is really attractive, especially when it is viewed in direct sunlight. The lid is also likely original.

An Important Red Earthenware Jar that was Found a Few Years Ago at an Estate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This is a huge red earthenware jar that I recently purchased from Robesonia, Pennsylvania antiques dealer, Greg Kramer. I remember seeing this object for the first time when I visited Greg's house in 2013, and for some reason it was one of those objects that has always remained with me. I have always remembered it as an extremely rare jar, which could possibly be an eighteenth-century product.

Greg told me that the jar came from an estate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - he also said that he has never offered it for sale before. He said he has always kept it in his house.

There are many characteristics about this jar that speak to me, such as the extremely rare, but detailed handles, the detailed incised decoration, and the thick pie-crust-type decoration that was applied around the rim and the handles. The potter even gave the effort to intentionally glaze the pie-crust-type decoration around the rim.

I know it is unlikely to properly attribute an object in such a way; although, the thickness of the pie-crust decoration reminds me of some of the dishes that I have seen, which were made in Philadelphia in the eighteenth-century.

Nonetheless, I believe this is a rare Pennsylvania-made product, but it is difficult to say where this object was definitely made as a result of never seeing anything like this before. Undoubtedly, this must be a rare object to find (and see) today!

Note: This jar stands over fourteen-inches tall!

A Remarkable Red Earthenware Jar Discovered in Brimfield, Massachusetts that was Recently Found in a House in Danbury, Connecticut

I was very lucky to discover a remarkable red earthenware jar yesterday at the New England Motel and Antiques Market Show in Brimfield, Massachusetts. There is a dealer, who regularly exhibits at this show each May and September that I make a point to visit when the show opens promptly at 6:00 am. This dealer is known for cleaning out houses in Connecticut, and the better objects that he finds are often sold in Brimfield.

Yesterday, he brought an incredible slip-decorated red earthenware jar that appears eighteenth-century in origin. The weight of the jar (10 pounds), the color of the lead glaze, the color of the slip-decoration and the color of the clay all suggest an American manufacturer (to me).

The dealer suggested that this jar may have been made in Pennsylvania in the early-nineteenth-century; however, the unusual style of slip-decoration may suggest that this jar was made in New England, where there were many rare slip techniques applied in the 1700's. These techniques often imitated styles that were found on imported European products.

For example, there were unusual methods of slip-decoration found with red earthenware products made by potters in the Hartford, Connecticut-area, southeastern Massachusetts, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, Plymouth, County, Massachusetts, Charlestown, Massachusetts, Essex County, Massachusetts, Portsmouth, New Hampshire and central New Hampshire in the eighteenth-century.

Nevertheless, the style of slip-decoration on this jar closely resembles styles, which were applied at the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company in Newburyport, Massachusetts, circa 1764-1799.

I have shown below a variety of similar slip-decorated sherds that were recovered by Massachusetts author, Lura Woodside Watkins at the site of the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company in Newburyport in the 1930's. But I have also shown examples of Bayley Pottery, which were recovered in eighteenth-century contexts at archaeological sites in Salem, Massachusetts, Portsmouth, New Hampshire and New Brunswick.

Note: The accidentally glazed base has nothing to do with where this object was made - this happened at many potter's businesses in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries. This base was never entirely glazed. If you look closely, you will notice that some of the Bayley Pottery sherds that Watkins collected also have a little bit of glaze on the base.

A Recently Acquired Brightly Glazed 19th Century Red Earthenware Colander Found in Upstate New York

I ended up purchasing the nineteenth-century red earthenware colander that I wrote about last week, which was for sale in Vermont. I was told by the dealer that the colander was recently found in upstate New York.

I felt this was a special object, and a scarce form, so I really did not want to pass up the rare opportunity to add such a colorful object to my personal collection. The glaze is spectacular!

I believe this could be a product that was produced in Waterloo County, Ontario, circa 1840-1880. I have seen a few similar formed objects attributed to New England before; however, I believe those may have been Canadian-made objects, as well.

The Harbinson Collection, which is owned by the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec includes several objects decorated in a very similar choice of glaze. The museum attributes all of these objects to Waterloo County.

Note: I should mention that colanders were also a known form, which was produced in Ontario in the second half of the nineteenth-century.
