A Graceful Red Earthenware Jar Attributed to West Hartford, Connecticut that was Recently Discovered in Arkansas

It was around two weeks ago that I wrote about some of the red earthenware manufactured by the Goodwin family in West Hartford, Connecticut in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This is a family business that can be overlooked today for the slip-decorated wares manufactured in West Hartford, especially the products made at the Seymour Pottery in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century.

However, West Hartford's stoneware production also somewhat overshadowed some of the local red earthenware production in recent decades. But there was a variety of wares produced at this industry for local distribution, as well as some products that have even appeared in some early contexts of ownership in Rhode Island.

According to the West Hartford Historical Society, "Early on, grist saw, and carding mills along with blacksmith shops, tanneries and general stores emerged around the (West Hartford) community to support and help drive agriculture. One of the first major industries to arise centered on the pottery and brick works. Extending from Hartford to Berlin is a sizable deposit of fine clay. 

In 1770, Ebenezer Faxon came from Massachusetts and settled in what would become the Elmwood section of West Hartford. There he established a pottery on South Road (what is today New Britain Avenue) which took advantage of the local geographical landscape. Nathaniel Seymour later followed, but it was Seth Goodwin (1772-1828), however, who helped to establish a pottery dynasty. Goodwin started his pottery works around 1798. For over a hundred years, the Goodwin name would be associated with West Hartford Pottery - producing utilitarian items such as jugs for the gin manufactured in local distilleries, to terra cotta designs and fine china. The Goodwin Company employed up to 75 people in its heyday in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. The Goodwin Brothers Pottery Company (as it came to be known) burned for the third time in 1908 and never recovered."

I also wrote a few weeks ago the I had recently acquired a nineteenth century West Harford red earthenware jar from Zach Miller, an antiques dealer in northwest Arkansas. He told me the jar was just discovered in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

The form of this large jar matches another smaller jar in my personal collection, and both of these objects match the form of a jar in the collection of the Connecticut Historical Society, which is prominently stamped "T.O. GOODWIN." This rare mark represents the production of Seth Goodwin's son, Thomas O'Hara Goodwin (1796-1880) in West Hartford, likely from the early-to-mid nineteenth century. My guess is the mark may represent a period for when T.O. Goodwin took more of an ownership role in the company, which would suggest that it dates after his father's death in 1828.

Slip-Decorated Red Earthenware Pan Sherds Recovered in Ipswich, Massachusetts and Boston

According to the Trustees of Reservations in Boston, "In 1996, A major archaeological dig took place at the Paine House at Greenwood Farm in Ipswich, Massachusetts, where archaeologists uncovered nearly 700 redware pottery sherds, many in the form of milk pans, butter pots and mugs. The thought is that these artifacts were likely locally made in Essex County, Massachusetts.

The reservation takes its name from Thomas S. Greenwood who built the nineteenth century white farmhouse. To its rear, the circa 1694 Paine House, a yellow cladboard saltbox, and a remarkable example of first period (1627-1725) architecture. Three generations of the Paine family made their home here, including Robert Paine, foreman of the Salem, Massachusetts witch trial in 1692. 

From 1916, Greenwood Farm was a summer retreat for the Robert G. Dodge family, who used the Paine House as a guesthouse. Furnished with a fine collection of American furniture and decorative arts, it radiates with Colonial Revival ambiance. 

Recent archaeological surveys have even revealed a rare survival of an eighteenth century milk room or dairy inside the house."

The red earthenware industry in Essex County, Massachusetts was a subject of a feature story that I wrote, which was published in the November 2017 issue of the New England Antiques Journal. I had written in that article that the use of slip decoration in this industry was a subject that deserved a lot more attention today, especially with the potteries that operated in the Peabody, Massachusetts-area in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Nevertheless, many of the artifacts recovered at the Paine House in Ipswich, Massachusetts were adorned in slip, including the milk pan sherds illustrated in the photograph that I posted, which was taken in 1996. Granted these objects were locally made, I could also easily see this type of production mistaken for wares manufactured from the Mid-Atlantic region.

Interestingly, the remains of a very-similar slip-decorated pan were recovered from an archaeological context at the site of the African-American Meeting House in Boston. I suspect that this pan may be related to the slip-decorated pans that were recovered in Ipswich. It is also noteworthy to mention that the remains of Essex County red earthenware have been recovered throughout the Boston-area within post-1775 and nineteenth century contexts, such as Boston Common, the Paul Revere House and locations in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

Note: Artifacts recovered at the African-American Meeting House in Boston are also a subject in a feature story about the potter's industry in southeastern Massachusetts that I wrote for Maine Antique Digest, which will be available later this month when the June 2018 issue is released.

Red Earthenware Recovered from a Circa 1780-1790 Privy in Philadelphia

In the 1760s and 1770s, red earthenware potters in New York City and Providence, Rhode Island (and likely others) advertised their production in competition to what was manufactured in Philadelphia. These ads were placed by Jonathan Durell, a Philadelphia trained potter employed in Manhattan and Joseph Wilson, an Essex County, Massachusetts trained potter who relocated around the state before he settled in Providence sometime around 1767.

The public's attraction to Philadelphia-made pottery likely involved a number of factors, but the colors and slip-decoration applied on various objects probably contributed to the trends set by this industry. Philadelphia's production was apparently fashionable during this period, and this movement must have continued after the American Revolution.

All of the following red earthenware artifacts were recently recovered by Bruce Adwell from a circa 1780 to 1790 privy in Philadelphia. They are all thought to have been locally made - and it is also interesting to see the focus given to both slip-decorated wares as well as simple black-glazed wares.

Red Earthenware Recovered from a Circa 1790-1820 Privy in Philadelphia

In the 1760s and 1770s, red earthenware potters in New York City and Providence, Rhode Island (and likely others) advertised their production in competition to what was manufactured in Philadelphia. These ads were placed by Jonathan Durell, a Philadelphia trained potter employed in Manhattan and Joseph Wilson, an Essex County, Massachusetts trained potter who relocated around the state before he settled in Providence sometime around 1767.

The public's attraction to Philadelphia-made pottery likely involved a number of factors, but the colors and slip-decoration applied on various objects probably contributed to the trends set by this industry. Philadelphia's production was apparently fashionable during this period, and this movement must have continued after the American Revolution.

All of the following red earthenware artifacts were recently recovered by Bruce Adwell from a circa 1790 to 1820 privy on Cuthbert Street in Philadelphia. They are all thought to have been locally made; whereas, these objects include two bowls, which are a personal favorite of mine.

I have been lucky to acquire two similar bowls in recent years from longtime private collections, and my appreciation for this type of bowl is a result of this type of production that I have seen from Philadelphia's archaeology. This is actually one of my favorite styles produced anywhere in America in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries.

Interestingly, I also wrote about a similar style of bowl a few weeks ago that has been recovered from various contexts throughout Baltimore, which is a style that is also thought to have been produced in that city sometime around the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century. This is likely the result of the influence found with Philadelphia's production that perhaps reached as far north as New England and even some southern states.

The Variety of Domestic Red Earthenware Recovered from an Archaeology Site at the Pierce-Hichborn House in Boston's North End Neighborhood

It has been almost one year since I visited an archaeology dig at the circa 1711 Pierce-Hichborn House in Boston's North End neighborhood, located next door to the circa 1680 Paul Revere House, where Boston City Archaeologist, Joe Bagley, along with other archaeologists, volunteers and students have been working diligently to preserve the artifacts, events and history that once took place at this site. The Paul Revere Memorial Association has plans to renovate a side yard on the property, and before this happens, an archaeology dig has been part of an ongoing project for almost one year now.

The archaeology dig carried over into this year due to a seventeenth century site, which was discovered late last fall. In the past few weeks, archaeologists have recovered a variety of interesting artifacts from this context, such as some German stoneware and European Delft, very-possibly directly imported into this part of Boston in the 1600s. Many of the better artifacts can be viewed on the City of Boston Archaeology Program's Facebook and Instagram accounts.

According to the Paul Revere Memorial Association, "The Piece-Hichborn House, built circa 1711, is one of the earliest remaining brick structures in Boston. The house is an excellent example of early Georgian architecture. Its elegant symmetrical style was a radical change from the wood-turned Tudor dwellings, such as the Paul Revere House (circa 1680), common in seventeenth century Boston. The home was built for Moses Pierce, a glazier, and later owned by Nathaniel Hichborn, a boat builder and a cousin of Paul Revere. The Hichborn family owned the house until 1864.

Like many buildings in the neighborhood, this single family home was converted into a multi-unit tenement dwelling. From about 1850 onwards, the ground floor front room was used as a shop. Known occupants include a tailor and several Italian hairdressers/barbers. By 1940, through the efforts of influential antiquarians, the home was purchased by Carleton R. Richmond, a Boston businessman, with the intention of preserving it as a historic museum.

The house was restored by the Moses Pierce Williams House Association with four period rooms furnished to the eighteenth century. Noteworthy original interior features include the central staircase, and early fireplaces and closets. The Paul Revere Memorial Association acquired the house in 1970."

However, the archaeology dig has also revealed a landfill context that is largely made up of seventeenth and eighteenth century artifacts; although, some objects date from the 1800s, as well. This context is where a number of red earthenware sherds have been recovered, some of which I believe were manufactured about one mile to the north and across the Charles River at the colonial eighteenth century industry in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

I studied many of these objects yesterday, and I have posted the more interesting artifacts below; these artifacts include some sherds decorated with slip that I believe were manufactured in Charlestown.

Note: For more information about the potter's industry in Charlestown, Massachusetts, I suggest checking the right column on this website for a number of articles that I have previously posted. Here are also two links to stories that I wrote, which were recently published in the New England Antiques Journal about red earthenware manufactured in Charlestown.

A Wonderful Red Earthenware Vase or Urn Found Yesterday in Brimfield, Massachusetts

Four or five years ago, I wrote about a repaired red earthenware vase or urn that I had discovered at an estate sale inside an old barn in Beverly, Massachusetts. I found the piece alongside a number of glazed and unglazed red earthenware flowerpots and animal feeders made in either Beverly or Peabody, Massachusetts around the turn of the twentieth-century.

At the time, I had speculated that the object was likely a Grecian-style form made at the Charles A. Lawrence Pottery in Beverly, circa 1872-1906. The pot showed extensive repair, but it was an example, and this type of production is difficult to find from this business today. Traces of black paint could also be seen on this object, which is a characteristic found on many of the Grecian wares produced in Beverly.

Another notable characteristic about this vase or urn was the appearance of a crimped decoration below the rim, a style of decoration that is also documented today from late-nineteenth century potteries in Beverly and Peabody (see Peabody example below). Recent research has also revealed that this period's production in Beverly and Peabody was intertwined with some potters who worked at both locations.

Nevertheless, while roaming around the fields yesterday in Brimfield, Massachusetts, I spotted an identical formed vase or urn with some body wear in the booth of Paul Galotti who picks houses and knocks on doors throughout Massachusetts. He said he found the pot a few years ago, but couldn't remember at the moment exactly where he found it. But he said it may have been picked from a house in either Peabody or Gloucester, Massachusetts, two communities that wares from Beverly are known to have appeared in over the years.

Note: I have written an extensive feature story about the Grecian wares made in Beverly, Massachusetts after 1872, which will hopefully be published sometime in the next year. The article includes some fantastic marked examples, as well as some other rare pieces, and I even include a variety of advertisements for this production from Beverly that are owned today by the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

19th Century Red Earthenware Jar Discovered Today in Brimfield, Massachusetts

I also purchased a nineteenth century red earthenware jar today in Brimfield, Massachusetts from a dealer based in New Hampshire, who reportedly discovered the jar in Maine. This jar was appealing since the form and glaze closely resemble a few jars in my personal collection that I believe were made at the industry in North Yarmouth, Maine, circa 1790-1900.

North Yarmouth's industry in also a subject that I have written a feature story about, which should be published later this year in the New England Antiques Journal.

Note: Check the right column on this website for more information about the wares manufactured in North Yarmouth, Maine in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
