Figure 23 Loaf dish, Huntington, New York, 1805–1860. Lead-glazed earthenware with slip decoration. L. 14 3/8". This is another variation by the same decorator who ornamented the dish illustrated in fig. 22. The central curvilinear design occurs in cobalt on salt-glazed stoneware from the pottery site. The feather type design on the top and bottom of the loaf dish have been found at the pottery site in slipware and cobalt blue salt-glazed stoneware. A signed F. Caire Huntington stoneware jug in a private collection has a similar design. This loaf dish was recently discovered in a barn on Long Island. |
