Figure 2 Flasks, probably Huntington, New York, late eighteenth/early nineteenth century. Right: Manganese enriched lead-glazed earthenware. Left: Lead-glazed earthenware daubed with manganese oxide. H. of both: 7 1/8". The black-glazed flask fragment was discovered underneath the floor of a ca. 1810 house in Miller Place, Long Island. The lip of the flask is similar to several known Huntington vessels, including a straight-sided black manganese lead-glazed earthenware jar attributed to the Titus period in an early Huntington collection, and a rim waster found at the pottery site. |
