Signed New Hampshire
Redware Spice Jar
Extremely rare early 19th C redware spice jar. Bellied form with flared rim, tooled shoulder, in clear lead glaze over vivid green and orange ground. Probably Gonic or Orange, NH. The base is signed ”Caroline Shnieter, 1836.” Signed pieces of redware are extremely uncommon; by one estimate less than 1% of all redware is signed; redware signed by a woman potter redefines rare. Base chips. 3¾”H. ex-Kelly Young Collection.
$925
