| Figure 3 Mugs, probably Huntington, New York, 1805–1860. Lead-glazed earthenware daubed with manganese oxide. H. (left to right): 5 7/16", 6 1/2", and 3 15/16". This is a rare graduated group of tankards attributed to the Huntington pottery. The tankard on the far right came from a local source. The other two vessels did not, but both match the first almost perfectly. It is interesting to note the color difference which should not always be a guideline for attribution since the color of fired red earthenwares can be affected by conditions inside or outside the kiln, contaminants in the glaze, or different conditions of the clay source. The style of the extruded handles and their attachments has been found at the site of the Huntington pottery. |
