DescriptionPotters in many regions of colonial America and the early United States made red-bodied earthenware from local clay.   Often it was decorated with slip (thin, liquid clay) and coated with lead glaze. This small pitcher features blotches of color that resulted from the potter’s application of metallic oxide under the glaze.
Provenance[Lambs Mill Antiques, Kutztown, Pennsylvania]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, October 4, 1963; given to MFAH, by 1966.
