Figure 39  Dish, Huntington, New York, ca. 1851–1885. Lead-glazed earthenware with slip decoration. D. 11 1/2". Flying Cloud was a famous clipper ship launched on April 15, 1851. Another slip-decorated plate by the same decorator with the name “America” is in the Nina Fletcher Little collection. The latter plate commemorates the schooner for which the America’s Cup race was named. The sails for the America were made in Port Jefferson by Reuben H. Wilson. George Brown, the last owner of the Huntington pottery, was an original member of the local yacht club and built and sailed boats.
