A rare late 18th or early 19th c. redware jar containing a multicolored glaze. 
Potted in a tapered form with a rounded and flared rim and incised decorated shoulder. Its base produced with a generously overhung foot. The thickness of the body is pronounced creating great weight when held in hand and evidenced by its sharply coiled interior.
The decoration of this jar is interpreted as being simple and wild. The maker utilized gravity as a source to produce the bold and prominent drips constrained to straight lines creating a dramatic contrast against a orange-mustard transitional ground. This type of simple and untrained decoration is seldom seen and likely coincides with production of coastal Massachusetts produced in the last quarter of the 18th. c.
Survives in overall very good original condition with an ancient chip to the base. Displays beautifully amongst complimenting colors of redware produced elsewhere throughout New England. 
Collected in the 1960s in coastal Massachusetts and has been in a distinguished private collection in New England since 2013. 
Coastal Massachusetts in origin with possible attribution to Bradford Pottery or Salem, MA. Ca. 1780-1820. 8 1/4"T.
