This nineteenth century redware jar is a type associated with production in Norwalk, Connecticut and the Huntington Pottery on Long Island, New York. Potters employed at both production centers made similar forms, whereas some of the potters worked at both locations, such as John Betts Gregory (1782-1842). Since these towns were just across the water from each other, potters also often traded ideas and shipped their goods back and forth. However, these types of jars are typically seen today with a reddish colored glaze with splotches of black; this example is especially nice since it is decorated with a green glaze and splotches of black. A very good example of Norwalk or Huntington Pottery.
