This finely thrown, 19th-century olive-brown glazed redware pitcher features a bulbous ovoid body, a loop handle, and a distinct, squared-off rim that flares into a pinched pouring spout. While the exact manufacturer is unidentified, this type of squared rim profile is closely associated with 18th- and 19th-century production in Essex County, Massachusetts, more specifically the Danvers and Salem area. The Essex County style then heavily influenced potters throughout northern New England, most famously the Clark family of New Hampshire and Vermont. Although somewhat comparable shapes emerged from New York State during the same nineteenth century period, they typically lack the exceptional refinement seen in this piece.
