Rare Early Massachusetts Stoneware Jug c. 1812

  

14 1/4 inches tall DESCRIPTION. Pieces stamped "Charleston" were made by Frederick Carpenter in a factory built near the Charleston MA prison by Barnabus Edmands. Very early in American stoneware dating 1812-27. This one probably dates in the earliest part of this range based on the complex spout and reddish brown glaze (18th century features); later ones were more typical gray glaze.

Carpenter used various stamped motifs ie. Hearts, eagles, stars, and other things to indicate capacity. Two hearts on this jug designate 2 gallons. This is a wonderful and important example from the first period of American Stoneware manufacture.

Minor shallow spalls probably occurred in manufacture. All in all quite excellent condition. Please call the shop for concise in-hand condition reports.
