A Large 18th/19th Century Red Earthenware Jar Recently Discovered in an Old Home in Essex County, Massachusetts

This is a large red earthenware jar that I purchased yesterday from an antiques picker in Essex, Massachusetts, who recently discovered it in an old home in Essex County, Massachusetts. The jar was found covered in dirt and grime; although, it definitely cleaned up nicely.

I also believe this is an object that was discovered near the location, where it was originally manufactured in the eighteenth or early nineteenth century - that being at the potter's industry in Peabody (formerly South Danvers), Massachusetts. The color of the glaze is certainly a style that is seen on a number of objects, which survive from Peabody today, but the form is what really suggests the attribution.

I think a natural reaction when seeing this jar is to believe that it was likely manufactured during the early-to-mid nineteenth century; however, this rim is a style that has been recovered on at least one-half dozen chamber pots found in a privy within a circa 1770-1820 archaeological context at the Narbonne House in Salem, Massachusetts; whereas, three of those chamber pots are said to have been recovered in a circa 1770 context. These chamber pots are all attributed to Essex County with the majority of them believed to have been produced in Peabody; although, two of the six chambers pots are attributed to the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company in Newburyport, Massachusetts.

I have also studied this style of rim on a small collection of red earthenware objects that are owned today by the Peabody Essex Museum (see below for three of those examples) in Salem, Massachusetts. These objects also all retain a nineteenth century history of ownership in Salem, where all of the aforementioned objects are also attributed to the potter's industry in Peabody.

Note: This is the second jar of this size that is attributed to Peabody, Massachusetts, which I have found in the past two-or-three years. I found a second jar at a yard sale held at an old home in Gloucester, Massachusetts that is a near-perfect match to a jar that is owned today by Historic Deerfield in Deerfield, Massachusetts.

A Collection of Red Earthenware Kept at the 18th Century Ashley House in Sheffield, Massachusetts

According to the Trustees of the Reservations, "The Ashley House in Sheffield, Massachusetts was built in 1735 by John Ashley, a prominent local leader - the home was the center of social, economic and political life in Western Massachusetts in the eighteenth century. The famous Sheffield Resolves, a petition against British Tyranny and a manifesto for individual rights, was drafted in the upstairs study of the house and published in 1773. The cause for abolishing slavery in America was strengthened in the celebrated 1781 Massachusetts state court battle that freed the Ashley's slave, Elizabeth Freeman (nicknamed "Mumbet") under the new state constitution. This court case helped end slavery in Massachusetts.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, the Ashley House exemplifies early eighteenth century architecture. House furnishings and items date from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries."

Among the collection of decorative objects kept at the Ashley House today is a terrific selection of New England-made red earthenware, which is partially represented in this photograph. The majority of the pottery shown in this image dates from the turn of the nineteenth century, with a number of objects that were made in southeastern Massachusetts at two major industries in Berkley and Somerset, Massachusetts - as well as a group of objects that were made in Essex County, Massachusetts in places, such as the industry in Peabody, Massachusetts and at the William Pecker Pottery (ca. 1790-1820) in Merrimacport, Massachusetts.

But there is also red earthenware shown that was made in Connecticut, and possibly examples from northern New England, which represents production in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. The light colored inkwells (bottom left) could possibly be from Vermont, where the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont attributes a similar example to the Farrar Pottery in Middlebury, Vermont, circa 1812-1850.

Archaeologist and author, Edwin Atlee Barber (1851-1916) published 'The Pottery and Porcelain of the United States' in 1893, where he briefly cited the production that took place in Middlebury: "Caleb Farrar established a pottery in Middlebury, Vermont, about 1812, for the manufacture of (red) earthenware and white tableware (?). About 1850 Farrar sold the works to James Mitchell, who continued the business until his death, after which the pottery was purchased by Nahum Parker."

Note: I truly believe that the production of red earthenware in Vermont is a subject that deserves more attention today. I feel that this state's production is often mistaken for other locations, but it could also be overshadowed by the important stoneware industry that garners national attention today. Although, I also feel that it is not totally understood how many red earthenware potter's actually operated in Vermont in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Here are links to a few red earthenware objects that are attributed to Vermont by the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont:

1) Caleb Farrar Pottery Attributed Red Earthenware Bottle, Middlebury, Vermont

2) Caleb Farrar Pottery Attributed Red Earthenware Mug, Middlebury, Vermont

3) Caleb Farrar Pottery Attributed Red Earthenware Mug, Middlebury, Vermont

4) Possibly Leander Fenton Pottery Red Earthenware Jug, St. Johnsbury, Vermont

5) John Norton Pottery Attributed Red Earthenware Jug, Bennington, Vermont
* I should note that I have heard the Norton attribution for this jug questioned - and, if this jug were not made by Norton then I feel it was still made in Vermont possibly at another potter's business. This style of slip is known on a small group of objects that survive today - those objects include this jug and a small group of jars in private collections.

An Important Document Believed to Have Been Written by Peter Clark, a Colonial Potter in Massachusetts and New Hampshire

It has been almost one year since I wrote an article about the eighteenth and nineteenth century colonial New England potter, Peter Clark (1743-1826), which was published in the August 2016 edition of the New England Antiques Journal. Clark began his career on Boston's South Shore in Braintree, Massachusetts producing red earthenware as early as 1763; although, he is believed to have trained in the potter's industry in Essex County, Massachusetts. But Clark abruptly relocated his family just before the American Revolution began in January 1775, where he moved north to Lyndeborough, New Hampshire, a move that would enable his family to establish a major role in the central New Hampshire potter's industry for the next one-hundred years.

I began that article when I introduced a nineteenth century map that had recently been identified by a collector in New Hampshire - the map showed the whereabouts of the Clark Pottery in Lyndeborough, a location that has been identified today, where a large collection of kiln waste from the Clark family has been discovered.

Nevertheless, yet another piece of nineteenth century paper has emerged in the antique marketplace that is also directly related to Peter Clark. This testimony appears to have been written entirely by Clark, who drafted this document on April 2, 1810 in protest of Mr. Jaazaniah Crosby, whom wished to become pastor of Lyndeborough in 1810.

According to the book, 'The History of the Town of Lyndeborough, 1735-1905 (published 1906),' "Reverend Sewall Goodridge (1747-1809) was ordained in Lyndeborough on September 7, 1768. He had been preaching in the town for some time previous. 

Reverend Mr. Clark in his historical address says of Mr. Goodridge, 'He was a liberty loving man, and when the coming storm of the Revolution began to lower, and the oppression of the mother country and the rights of men began to be discussed all over the land and his people were not ignorant of these things, and both minister and people warmly espoused the cause of the colonies. In the second year of his pastorate, twenty-four united with the church, and there were additions almost every year for twenty years.'

The arduous duties of his parish impaired the health of Mr. Goodridge and he resigned in 1806, but the town continued him in office and voted him an annuity of one hundred dollars while he lived.

Also according to 'The History of the Town of Lyndeborough, 1735-1905,' "The most unfeigned thanks of Mrs. Goodridge and family were presented to the town for the respect shown to the memory of her late husband and their father at the adjourned meeting, March 21, 1809.

After the resignation of Mr. Goodridge, the church called three pastors in succession, Mr. Jesse Fisher, Reverend Abraham Randall and Reverand Jaazaniah Crosby. But difficulties arose concerning each of these , and none of them was installed as pastor. The Reverend Nathaniel Merrill was next called in 1811, and became pastor."

Incredibly, the hand written document that has recently emerged is directly related to the events that I just described - the document is believed to have been written by Clark, and signed by 34 different people from Lyndeborough. Not only does the document include Peter Clark's writing and signature, but it also includes the signatures of Clark's sons and grandchildren, John Clark, Jr., Peter Clark, Jr. and John Farmer Clark, who were local potters, but they were also responsible for establishing an important potter's industry in Concord, New Hampshire in the 1800s.

The documented reads, "To the inhabitants of the Town of Lyndeborough in town meeting assembled on the second day of April A.D. 1810...We the subscribers do inform you that it gives us great uneasiness to see you come forward in this way again in regard of settling Mr. Jaazaniah Crosby in the work of the ministry amongst us in this town, and we do hearby protest against paying one cent of the cost of his ordination or any part of the sums that is or may be voted to him for his settlement or salary for his support, for the following reasons: (they then go on to list the reasons)."

After studying this document, as well as Reverend Sewall Goodridge's involvement in Lyndeborough, I am now curious to learn whether Reverend Goodridge was the reason that Peter Clark left Massachusetts in 1775 in search of new opportunity in southern New Hampshire; it appears that Lyndeborough became an appealing community for Patriots to reside around the American Revolution once Goodridge was ordained in 1768.

Could Clark have been a part of the "additions" or people who united with Reverend Goodridge's church in 1775?! Was there a relationship between Clark and Reverend Goodridge prior to January 1775? I really feel this is a theory that should be further explored.

Note: Here is a link to an article that I posted on this website just after my Peter Clark article was published last summer in the New England Antiques Journal - this online article further examines Clark's role in Lyndeborough, where a group of objects that relate to Clark are explored, which are owned by the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont.

A 19th Century Red Earthenware Colander and Similarities to Pottery Made in Greene County, Tennessee

This is a rare red earthenware colander that I have previously written about that I thought may have been made in Western New York or Ontario, circa 1840-1880. However, I have also wondered if this could have been made in East Tennessee, as well, which is an idea that I would like to explore today.

I purchased this colander last fall from a group antique shop in southern Vermont; although, I was also told that the dealers, whom I purchased this from were based in upstate New York, and they bought what they sold from all over the place. The shop could not provide me with a lot of information into where this object was discovered even though they felt it was not found in Vermont or elsewhere in New England. But they did suggest that it was likely found somewhere in upstate New York.

Understandably, a colander is a rare form to find today from any American utilitarian potter, which also makes an attribution difficult. Nevertheless, the unusual bright glaze is what really stands out to me about this object. I have also noticed that the glaze on this colander appears similar to some glazes that were produced in Greene County, Tennessee before 1862.

The Greene County glaze that I am referencing was described in 2011 when Crocker Farm in Sparks, Maryland sold a rare jug that was decorated with a "copper slip decoration that had been applied over a light orange ground." I feel this is the same description that can be used for the glaze that is seen on this colander. The copper slip also ran on the jug that Crocker Farm sold due to how it was applied, whereas, a similar technique can also be seen on this colander. Overall, the glazes appear to be a close match to each other.

This colander's handles are also similar to some handles that were produced in Greene County; although, the Green County handles were often made with a thumb impression or a stamp at the handle terminal. This colander's handles do not show any kind of thumb impression or stamp.

The most prominent business in Greene County by what is known today was likely the company that was owned by Christopher Alexander Haun (1821-1861) around the mid-nineteenth century. Although, the manufacture of red earthenware in this area does date to the circa 1820 period, and possibly as early as the early nineteenth century.

According to the book, 'Tennessee Potteries, Pots and Potters, 1790s to 1950, Volume 1,' "By 1860 at least five known potters were living near Christopher Alexander Haun, and their collective presence seems to account for the wording on some surviving vessels marked 'C.A. HAUN & CO.' The individuals who apparently worked with Haun included his brother Lewis Haun, William and Jacob Hinshaw, Jonathan Morgan, and John Alexander Lowe. Whatever the exact nature of this association, it was completely disrupted by the events surrounding the November 1861 pro-Union burning of railroad bridges in East Tennessee. The railroad bridge across Lick Creek, a little more than two miles from the site of the Haun Pottery was burned the night of November 8, 1861, and within a short time five local residents/potters identified as participating in this event were captured, tried and hanged by Confederate officials. Haun was the among the dead." 

An important ring bottle was sold by Case Antiques in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2014, which was decorated with a similar copper slip glaze over a light orange ground. But it was also decorated with an impressed decoration that was created with a tread stamp and a coggle wheel. The impressed decoration was also a major characteristic in identifying this object's maker since a matching style of decoration is found on the handle terminals from some jars, which were made at the Haun Pottery. This is also the only form of this kind that is currently known from Greene County - it is kept today in the William C. and Susan S. Mariner Collection at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in North Carolina.

To my knowledge: colanders have never been accurately tied to any potter or potter's business in East Tennessee, especially in Greene County. The forms that were regularly produced in Greene County included crocks, dishes, jugs, pitchers and honey pots.

Note: This essay is why an argument may be developed today for this colander to have been produced in East Tennessee in the 1800s; although, there are also arguments that can be made for potters in Western New York and Ontario. But I also want to mention that I have only seen this type of running copper slip glaze in Tennessee versus what I have studied about similar glazes in New York and Ontario. With all of this said, it would be interesting to hear some feedback from those, who have handled Greene County, Tennessee red earthenware decorated with this type of glaze. Thoughts?

A 19th Century Maine-Made Red Earthenware Jar Owned by the Art Institute of Chicago

I thought it would be a good time to show this nineteenth century red earthenware jar since I posted an article today about the Dodge Pottery in Portland, Maine, which also contained a link to an article that I posted in 2015 that discussed the Thomas Truxton Kendrick Pottery in Hollis, Maine.

The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois attributes this jar to the Kendrick Pottery in Hollis Center, Maine, circa 1830-1850. A similar jar appeared a few years ago at the annual New Hampshire Antique Dealers Association Show in Manchester, New Hampshire that had been formerly owned by Ohio antiques dealer, David Good. That jar was also attributed to Maine, but I don't remember it having a more specific attribution.

I am not sure how this attribution was developed without any known archaeology from Kendrick or any signed pieces, but I definitely thought it was a good piece to show today. The museum may have acquired this piece with the attribution. But this is definitely a potter's business that I would like to learn more about since I feel there may be some potential confusion that surrounds this potter's production today.

Note: Here is a link to the jar listed on the Art Institute of Chicago's website.

The Origin to a Style of 19th Century Red Earthenware that was Stamped with a Vertical Number

I recently posted an article about a nineteenth century red earthenware jar, where I wrote that I had felt it may have been a Midwestern-made object. I had suggested that attribution based on the combination of the form and glaze with similar styles having been produced in Illinois during the circa 1840-1890 period. However, I posted an update the next day at the top of that article stating that I planned to give that jar further research since I have only seen that style found in Maine with the exception of the jar that I owned.

I purchased my jar at a Skinner auction in Boston well-over a decade ago - it was sold by Skinner at a special Saturday auction (their Americana auctions are normally held on Sundays) amongst the contents from a single owner collection of American folk art. The collection of folk art included a variety of red earthenware, which spanned makers from Maine to Virginia to Pennsylvania and Ohio; although, there was a variety of Maine-made red earthenware in the collection. Overall, Maine was definitely the region that was most represented.

Nevertheless, what stands out (to me) today about my jar is the fact that the front of it has been stamped with numbers - I originally thought the stamp read "1/4," but after careful study, I now believe it reads vertically "14." I have seen similar jars that have been stamped vertically "19" and "17." Both of these aforementioned jars also have strong connections to Maine. But a proper Maine attribution has never been developed. However, the Dodge Pottery in Portland, Maine is also known to have used a stamped number system (see below) - and, I also believe that those stamps may have been obtained from a printer in Portland since they appear similar to a style that would have been used at a printing press in the 1800s.

Yesterday, I traveled to Maine, where I discovered another jar, which matched the jar that I had purchased at Skinners over a decade ago. This jar was marked vertically "12." But what I also noticed about the two jars that I now own is that the way their bases were manufactured matches the base found on a five-gallon butter churn that I purchased a few years ago from a prominent collection in Blue Hill, Maine. The butter churn is also stamped with the number "5." 

Now, with all of this said, I also noticed on the two jars with the vertical numbers that the way the base was manufactured is very similar to how the bases were manufactured on the Dodge jars that I just briefly described. The Dodge jars are also usually decorated with two incised lines that surround the shoulder. Every jar that I have seen marked with a vertical number is also decorated with two incised lines that surround the shoulder.

Unfortunately, there is no archaeological evidence (known to me) that survives from the Dodge Pottery today, but I feel there is an argument that these jars could be related. The Dodges certainly made a lot of pottery even though most of it is not really understood today.

Note: Here is a link to an article that I posted in 2015, which further discusses the history of the Dodge Pottery.

An Early 19th Century Southeastern Massachusetts Red Earthenware Jug Recently Discovered by an Antiques Picker in Massachusetts

This is another nineteenth-century red earthenware jug that I acquired last weekend from a private New Hampshire collection; although, I was told that this black glazed jug was recently discovered by an antiques picker, who reportedly just found the jug in Massachusetts. This jug is attributed to the potter's industry in Bristol County, Massachusetts, circa 1790-1830 (possibly a little bit earlier).

I have also shown a comparable formed jug that is owned by the Little Compton, Rhode Island Historical Society - the museum's jug also retains an early-to-mid twentieth century history of ownership in the Little Compton-area

Rhode Island was actually a major marketplace for the potter's businesses in the southeastern Massachusetts industry, where there have been a countless number of Bristol County-made objects discovered in early contexts of ownership. But there has also been a number of artifacts from this industry that have been collected through archaeology in various eighteenth and nineteenth century contexts in Rhode Island.

Nevertheless, this is a nice Bristol County example in a desirable form that stands about six-inches tall. These double-lipped jugs from southeastern Massachusetts are also rather difficult to find today. But then, again any kind of jug from Bristol County is equally as difficult to find today.

Note: Here is a link to a similar formed Bristol County, Massachusetts jug with a beautiful, but unusual glaze for this industry, which is owned by the New York Historical Society in New York City. Albeit, no attribution is specified, the museum did acquire their jug in 1952 and they attribute it to the circa 1800-1840 period. Although, the only real difference found with this jug versus the jug that I have shown below is that the New York Historical Society's jug was not manufactured with a double-lip.
