ITEM 2237. This finely potted 9 ½" tall redware jar is probably New England in origin, dating to the mid-nineteenth century. The jar was originally fitted with a cover (now missing) and it would have been utilized for food storage. As shown, there is some typical chipping to the rim of the jar and the usual evidence of usage wear around midbody but the jar is otherwise in excellent condition with no disfiguring chips or cracks. The clear lead glaze is thickly applied both inside and out and the resulting earty color is the perfect complement to the jar's classic form.
