19^th Century Stoneware Merchant Jug, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Marked: “W. Simes & Co. / Portsmouth N.H. (Under capacity mark)
Attributed to Edmands Pottery, Charlestown, Massachusetts
Date/Period: 1837-1851

Measurement: Two Gallons

Material: Stoneware, cobalt decoration

Condition: Allover staining that will clean; hairlines to handle, two trivial flakes to base

Additional Information: Very little marked stoneware is associated with Portsmouth,
N.H. There was no stoneware production in Portsmouth; most of the domestic
stoneware found was almost always produced at the stoneware potteries of
Charlestown, Massachusetts.

This exciting jug bears the merchant mark of William Simes (1806-1880) who was an
important figure in nineteenth century Portsmouth. Records at the New Hampshire
Historical Society and the Portsmouth Athenaeum indicate that he operated as a dry
goods merchant in Portsmouth from 1837 to 1851. (We have compiled a dossier
regarding the esteemed Simes family). William Simes apparently continued in the family
business as a dry goods merchant that descended in his family starting with John Simes
who migrated to from England to New Hampshire about 1736. The Historical Society
owns a Hard Times Token marked; “William Simes & Co. Dealers in Teas, Wines &
Groceries / No. 1 Pierce’s Buildings / Portsmouth N.H.” The other side is dated “1837.”
The cobalt decorated bird is associated with production in Charlestown by Emands
Pottery; probably by Barnabas Edmands’ (1778-1872) shop, a pot-works that was
established at 55 Austin Street by Edmands and his brother-in-law William Boroughs in
1812.

Simes was elected mayor of Portsmouth in 1861, he died in 1880.
