Exceptional Glazed Redware Jar with Lid, attributed to Emanuel Suter, New Erection Pottery, near Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, VA, circa 1875, cylindrical jar with tapered shoulder and semi-rounded rim, the surface coated in a heavy lead-and-manganese-glaze featuring mottled shades of brown over a light clay ground. Includes original, stepped redware lid with flattened finial and matching glaze. Among the most beautiful redware pieces from this pottery that we have seen with a glaze reminiscent of the work of 18th century English potter, Thomas Whieldon.
