19th c. Redware Pitcher Attributed to Charles A. Lawrence

A 19th c. redware pitcher in original as-found and as-descended condition attributed to Charles A. Lawrence pottery Beverly, Massachusetts. For a near identical example, see chapter 5, figure 36 of "The Beverly Pottery The Wares of Charles A. Lawrence" by Justin Thomas.

Potted in bulbous form with an applied strap handle and rounded collar forming a pouring spout. An unusual feature is its concave base, a feature which prevents its base from cracking on a heat source. Its glaze is modest and beautifully displayed portraying a deep orange ground with yellow spots.

Survives in a well preserved state of original condition with only minor wear surmounting its rim and minor sporadic glaze loss limited to the body at its base.

A more unusually glazed example of production as it sways away from the bright multicolored slip glazes found on other examples and possibly predates other examples stamped with "F.A.Walker", a Boston importer of utilitarian wares.

Ca. 1865-1875. 8 1/2"T.
