| Figure 5 Jugs and flask, probably Huntington, New York, 1805–1860. Lead-glazed earthenware daubed with manganese oxide. H. of tallest: 6 7/8". These three pots were purchased at auction from the Charles Embree Rockwell estate in Nissequogue, Smithtown, Long Island. This was a rare opportunity to purchase redware directly from a Long Island estate. The handle attachments are similar to the tankards illustrated in fig. 3. Also the same attachment of the handles on the jugs has been found at the pottery site. Although these examples are similar to wares produced at the Norwalk potteries, these pots have a local history and have been attributed to the Huntington pottery. |
