Figure 4 Pitcher, Morgantown, West Virginia, ca. 1810. Earthenware.
H. 7 1/4". (Private collection; photo, Gavin Ashworth.)
This straw-colored pitcher is finely formed and finished, and although it
is not thin-walled it may be what Hough called yellow tableware
of the Jefferson Embargo period. Its handle has the chamfered-edge cross
section noted under jugs. The pitcher has a capacity slightly less than
one quart. It was found in a Morgantown yard sale. |
