Figure 12 Jug, probably Long Island, New York, 1835–1860. Lead-glazed earthenware daubed with manganese oxide. H. 10". This handled jug comes from an early Setauket, Long Island, collection formed before 1950. A handled jug of this form appears in the painting illustrated in fig. 13. Traditionally, collectors of American pottery have believed that this form was produced later. This painting establishes an earlier date. |
