keywords: description:Published in the January 21, 2021 issue of Antiques and Auction News is a research story I wrote about red earthenware production in River Edge, Bergen County, New Jersey, titled, "The Red Earthenware Manufactured In River Edge, New Jersey: A Look At Bergen County Pottery." The most significant objects produced in this area were likely those manufactured by Henry Jacob Van Saun (1755-1829) during the circa 1824-1826 period. He produced a group of commemorative plates that were embossed in the center with profiles of people like George Washington, Martha Washington and Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834), which commemorated Lafayette's visit to Hackensack, New Jersey in 1825 and the 50th anniversary of America's independence.
These type of commemorative plates are rare to find today and even rarer when they appear in the public marketplace, although a good example recently sold at Locatti LLC in Pineville, Pennsylvania. This particular plate featured a profile of George Washington in the center surrounded by thirteen stars.
The plate sold for $425 plus the auction premiums.

No comments: Monday, November 1, 2021 19th Century Red Earthenware Jar Recently Found in MichiganThis nineteenth century red earthenware jar was surprisingly just discovered by Harry Oman in a thrift store in Michigan. There are a few reasons why I thought this was an intriguing object, but most importantly it is the place of manufacture that might be the most significant.
While this jar is adorned in a glaze that could be interpreted as being from New England or western New York, I thought the combination of where it was found, the interior glaze color and part of the form may indicate it is Canadian in origin, and more specifically from somewhere in Ontario.
Nonetheless though, I really like the tapered ovoid body, which closely resembles early stoneware production from the 1700s and early 1800s in places like coastal Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, etc. And if this is an Ontario object (otherwise it's probably from one of the aforementioned regions), then it is likely an early red earthenware jar for that area, where the majority of Ontario's production took place after the opening of the Erie Canal on October 26, 1825, and especially during the post 1850 period when production was most prevalent.

No comments: Wednesday, October 27, 2021 A Wonderful 19th Century Boxer Dog Figure Probably from the Mid Atlantic RegionThis is a really unusual nineteenth century hand modeled and painted red earthenware boxer dog figure that I picked up in June while visiting southeastern Pennsylvania, along with the annual antiques show in Lititz, Pennsylvania. I have never seen anything like this dog before, which is kind of why I was so compelled to acquire it.
Interestingly, the only somewhat comparable piece that I can find is a painted spaniel figure owned by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston made by John Lewis Stone (1850-1927), circa 1870-1880, who was an associate of the Kirkpatrick brothers of Anna pottery fame in Illinois. Although, the two pieces are unrelated. Stone also manufactured temperance jugs in Oletha, Texas similar to those produced in Anna, among other significant objects.
But with a little research, I have actually become quite excited over this piece, learning that the boxer was developed in Germany in the nineteenth century, and they are descendants of mastiffs, bulldogs, great danes and terriers. Early on in the 1800s the dogs were known as butcher's helpers, often helping control herds of cattle. And knowing this information now, I feel confidently that this piece of American folk art was most likely made in the Mid Atlantic region (perhaps in southeastern Pennsylvania), where there was a large German population in the 1800s.
Nonetheless though, I really enjoy the fact that this piece is unlike anything I have ever seen before, and it is certainly what is referred to today as an "off hour piece" at a nineteenth century pottery business. This first photo was taken in June in the parking lot outside the Lititz Antiques Show, while the remaining two pictures were taken on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.

No comments: Monday, October 25, 2021 A Presentation Jug Made by Edward Hall in Ohio Displayed at the Brooklyn MuseumTo follow up on my post from earlier today - here is the presentation jug owned by the Brooklyn Museum in New York City that was made by Edward Hall at the W.P. Harris Pottery located on Symmes Creek in Newton Township, Ohio, which is where he worked between 1828 and 1858. The jug is inscribed around the body, reading, "Made by E. Hall Ohio to John Doll/ings."
This is one of three presentation stoneware jugs like this known from Hall today, each being embellished with different designs, decorations and inscriptions. This jug is adorned on the front with two clasped hands, possibly representing a male and female hand, and it is because of this piece that some have speculated that these presentation jugs manufactured by Hall may have been created as marriage pieces. But while the handshake was most often used in imagery for married couples, it could also express fraternity, such as members for societies like Masons, or the connection between siblings or other family members.
And even though this example is not dated, it was likely manufactured in the 1850s along with the other known jugs. These jugs are outstanding examples of Midwestern and nineteenth century American folk art.

No comments: A Group of Presentation Stoneware Jugs Manufactured in Newton Township, OhioThis nineteenth century Ohio stoneware jug (missing its handle) is owned by the Zanesville Museum of Art in Ohio, and it is one of only three known examples made by Edward Hall at the W.P. Harris Pottery in Ohio that is embellished with applied and incised decoration. Hall potted at the W.P. Harris Pottery located on Symmes Creek in Newton Township, Ohio between 1828 and 1858. The jug is inscribed "E. Hall Ohio / To Josiah Defenbaugh,"along with "U.S.A."and dated "1858."
A related example is displayed on the fifth floor of the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, as well as there being a third known example that is privately owned. Although, there could be others that were made as well that are not widely documented today or perhaps may not have survived. The Zanesville Museum of Art speculates that their jug may have been made for a special celebration, such as a wedding.
Nonetheless though, the detail in this object is incredible from the surviving stopper all the way down to the base. The jug owned by the Brooklyn Museum is equally as impressive!

No comments: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 A Red Earthenware Pot Recently Found in Maine and the Commemorative Wares of St. Paul's School in Concord, New HampshireWhile visiting Concord, New Hampshire over the weekend, I brought along a rare nineteenth century handled red earthenware pot that I purchased earlier this year at the antique shows in Brimfield, Massachusetts, although I was told the pot had just been found in an old house in Kittery Point in Maine. My feeling is that this pot was probably made by one of the potters employed in the historic Millville section of Concord before 1850; I base this idea on related pieces that I have seen attributed to Concord, such as a number of objects that were illustrated in my most recent research story published in the June 2021 issue of Maine Antique Digest, titled, The Red Earthenware Industry in Concord, New Hampshire.
Interestingly though, these pictures were taken where much of the Millville community was located, which happens to be land now owned by St. Paul's School, a prominent college preparatory school associated with the Episcopal Church that was founded in 1856. John Farmer Clark (1832-1885), who was from the most successful family of potters in Concord actually manufactured commemorative red earthenware for St. Paul's in the late 1870s. For instance, Historic New England owns an unglazed pot inscribed "Clay from / the site of new / building at / St. Paul's School / July 1 / 1879." The New Hampshire Historical Society also owns two related pieces, one with the same inscription and date, and another dated "June 23, 1879."
Note: There has been some archaeology conducted at the Millville pottery sites, including an excavation by Dr. David Starbuck (1949-2020) at the site of Joseph Hazeltine's business between 1982-1984. This archaeology is kept today at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire.

No comments: Friday, October 8, 2021 A 19th Century Earthenware Horn from Zoar, Ohio Painted for the Index of American DesignWhile recently looking over more than 18,000 pieces of artwork created between 1935-1942 for the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. - and some of which will be used in my forthcoming books - I came across an image of a nineteenth century earthenware horn manufactured in Zoar, Ohio. The painting was created by Fritz Boehmer (1875-1942) in 1935, a Czechoslovakian born artist who immigrated to Ohio and painted 54 pieces for the Index of American Design, including a number of objects from Zoar.
Although, as soon as I saw the painting of the horn it reminded me of a twentieth century photograph from the collection of the Ohio Historical Society. The information that accompanies the image reads, "Erwin C. Zepp, director of the Ohio State Museum, examining a pottery horn, one of many objects included in the museum exhibition of Zoar arts and crafts. On the table: pottery churn and woven basket."
Records at the Ohio Historical Society indicate that the horn was manufactured sometime during the circa 1804-1859 period, and it was used to call workers to the assembly house in Zoar.This historic settlement, which for more than eighty years prior to its disbanding in 1898, thrivedunder a communal government that was founded in 1817 by German religious dissenters. Zoar is known for a variety of pottery production today, although to my knowledge, this is the only pottery instrument or horn that can be associated with this community's production.
Note: I have also included pictures of an inscribed nineteenth century pottery flute that was described as being made from red earthenware and possibly from Pennsylvania. Even though I do not know where this piece was made, I do find it intriguing seeing that it is inscribed with a tulip, a musician as well as "Fred Hewitz / Flote Glaser."

No comments: Monday, October 4, 2021 New Forthcoming Book - A City on the River: The Early Red Earthenware of the Hartford Connecticut AreaI have just begun working on my next book! My fifth book, A Celebrated Industry: The Historic Wares of Southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County and Cape Codis basically finished, and due out later this year from Historic Beverly in Massachusetts. The tentative title for the new book is A City on the River: The Early Red Earthenware of the Hartford Connecticut Area. I hope to see this new book in publication as part of my New England pottery book series sometime in the winter or spring of 2022. Although, I wanted to get this information out there as soon as possible in case there is anyone who has good examples of local Hartford red earthenware that they would like to have included in the book. Please feel free to contact me!
These illustrations are good examples of two pieces of red earthenware made in West Hartford in the early 1800s; both were painted in 1938 by Philip Smith for the Surveys of Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. They were then later published in 1971 in Harold F. Guilland's book, Early American Folk Pottery.
Again though, please feel free to contact me should you have any good Hartford red earthenware that you would like to have documented in the book!

No comments: Friday, October 1, 2021 A Large Folk Art Sewer Tile Pig Bank that Retains a History of Ownership in Springfield, OhioI posted pictures of this large free-standing muscular early twentieth century sewer tile pig bank with incised eyelashes to my Instagram account this summer that I found this past July at the antique shows in Brimfield, Massachusetts. Most recently, the pig was owned privately in southern New Jersey, although I was told that it previously retains a long history of ownership in Springfield, Ohio. In fact, Springfield may have even been the original context of family ownership for this object, even though it may have somewhat traveled through the years.
It is also noteworthy to mention that the manufacture of this pig's facial features leads me to believe that it may somehow be related to a molded sewer tile pig bank that sold in Crocker Farm's March 2015 sale in Sparks, Maryland; however, this pig is actually hand formed and not molded. Interestingly, a friend who knows a lot more about sewer tile folk art than I do told me that this was only the second example that he had seen like this made by this hand, where the other example was also found in Ohio.
In fact, the pig that sold at Crocker Farm is one of a group known from this mold, which were all manufactured with a round hole in the base. I suspect the relationship between this pig and the molded pigs might be a result of the location in Ohio that they originated or perhaps even the factory where they were made, rather than an individual. The manufacture of various pig forms were popular end of the day projects with workers at sewer tile factories in the Midwest through the 1950s.
This pig measures over fourteen inches long, whereas figural sewer tile folk art of this size is very unusual for pigs, especially those manufactured during the circa 1900-1930 period. Among the most desired sewer tile pigs known from Ohio today are those that were produced likely as advertising pieces and included in production at the National Sewer Tile Pipe Company in Akron, Ohio, typically measuring nine inches in length and stamped on the base, "NATIONAL / SEWER PIPE CO. / AKRON, OHIO."
For more information about sewer tile pigs and just the overall history of this type of factory folk art - see Jack Adamson's book, Illustrated Handbook of Ohio Sewer Pipe Folk Art.
Note: Some good examples of Ohio sewer tile folk art sold yesterday at Hindman Auctions in Cincinnati, Ohio from the Wes and Shelley Cowan Collection, highlighted by a pair of monumental eagles that sold for $2,250 plus the auction premiums.

No comments: Thursday, September 30, 2021 Some Good Examples of Concord, New Hampshire Red Earthenware Sell in Florida and TexasFor those of you who read my most recent research story published in the June 2021 issue of Maine Antique Digest, titled, The Red Earthenware Industry in Concord, New Hampshire- three pieces of good Concord pottery recently sold this month at C. Biddle Auction Gallery in Oakland Park, Florida and Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.
The first piece was included in a lot of two, where the second object shown to the right was likely manufactured in northern New England in the early to mid 1800s. Although, the pitcher shown to the left matches objects owned by the Hopkinton, New Hampshire Historical Society and the New Hampshire Historical Society attributed to the Joseph Hazeltine Pottery in Concord about 1840. The lot sold for only $140 plus the auction premiums. The sale also included another good piece of northern New England red earthenware that was catalogued in a group lot as stoneware, which also sold for $140 plus the auction premiums.
The other two pieces of Concord red earthenware were an extremely rare pair of political mugs made for the 1876 presidential campaign, which were manufactured at the John Farmer Clark Pottery; this is the same Clark family who worked in Braintree, Massachusetts and Lyndeborough, New Hampshire in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Similar pieces are illustrated in the story I wrote for M.A.D. that are currently on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord. The pair sold for $1,000 plus the auction premiums. Interestingly, the sale at Heritage Auctions included some other pieces of political pottery, such as a bank related to William Henry Harrison(1773-1841).

No comments: Monday, September 27, 2021 A Spectacular Example of the Type of Green Glazed Wares Manufactured in Bristol County, MassachusettsAttributed to the industry in Bristol County, Massachusetts, this circa 1780-1830 green glazed lidded red earthenware jar is an incredible object that I have admired for about a decade now, where it has been owned privately in western Massachusetts for at least the past thirty years. The green glazed wares from this region in Massachusetts are highly regarded today, although they have been desired by major museums and private collectors for over 100 years. But not all of the green glazes from Bristol County are equal; some are darker than others, and as a result, certain greens are much more prized than others.
In fact, the color of this emerald green glazed jar and lid are pretty much as good as it gets for the vibrant colored greens from Bristol County, where I consider this jar to be among the best green glazed wares from Bristol County in existence today.
Nonetheless, I was very fortunate to acquire this jar over the weekend when it was dropped off at my house on Saturday. This jar will also be illustrated in my forthcoming book, A Celebrated Industry: The Historic Wares of Southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County and Cape Cod - which will mark my fifth book in my New England pottery book series throughHistoric Beverly in Massachusetts.

No comments: Sunday, September 26, 2021 An Outstanding 19th Century Red Earthenware Bank that Just Sold in PennsylvaniaThis excellent nineteenth century slip decorated red earthenware bank featuring a tree stump, applied floral decoration and a Native American just sold at Briggs Auction Inc. in Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania. It was included in the sale as part of a collection of pottery, such as other outstanding examples of nineteenth century red earthenware, including a slip decorated spaniel bank most likely from Pennsylvania.
Interestingly, this Native American bank may be related to a similar bank attributed to Pennsylvania that sold in the Seaman's Bank Collection at Christies in New York City in March 1991; that bank later sold in the Kelly Young Collection at Crocker Farm in Sparks, Maryland in January 2010.
This bank sold for $850 plus the auction premiums.

No comments: Monday, September 13, 2021 A Rare Two Gallon William Pecker Stoneware Jug Recently Found in New JerseyAs promised, here are better pictures of the extremely rare circa 1805-1810 two gallon salt glazed stoneware jug manufactured by William Pecker (1757-1820) in South Amesbury (Merrimacport), Massachusetts, which was recently discovered in New Jersey. It is one of less than ten stoneware jugs known to exist from Pecker today; this example is adorned with some cobalt and impressed with the mark "Wm PECKER." Although, among the characteristics of this jug that piqued my interest is the fact that the impressed mark was somehow applied upside down, which adds an extra level of interest, at least for me!
For more information about William Pecker's red earthenware and stoneware production, I recommend my latest published book from Historic Beverly in Massachusetts, titled, South Amesbury's Red Earthenware Stoneware: The 1791-1820 William Pecker Pottery.
