Rare Gonic, NH Redware Mug
Superb and rare early 19th C. concave-sided redware mug probably from Gonic, New Hampshire. Rich moss-green glaze with orange spots shading into a band of orange around the dramatically flaring base. Circling the mug just above the upper handle attachment are three incised lines and at the rim four evenly spaced orange swags dip down into the green. I have never seen that before on a piece of New England redware. Three nearly invisible chips on the base and a single ¼” chip next to the small pulled pouring lip are the extent of the wear. No cracks, no lines. None. 5 7/8”” tall, 4” across the mouth, and 5¼” across the base.
