Antique 19th C. PA Redware Milk Pitcher Manganese Daubed Glaze Large 8.5” H

Description

View Antique 19th C. PA Redware Milk Pitcher Manganese Daubed Glaze Large 8.5” H with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The pitcher is finished in a rich, vibrant pumpkin-orange lead glaze, heavily accented with bold, artistic manganese splotches that cover the body and the hand-applied pulled handle. This impressive 19th-century Pennsylvania redware milk pitcher is a superior example of early American folk pottery. Standing approximately 8.5 inches tall, it possesses a commanding presence and a classic ovoid form. The pitcher is finished in a rich, vibrant pumpkin-orange lead glaze, heavily accented with bold, artistic manganese splotches that cover the body and the hand-applied pulled handle. The craftsmanship is evident in the finely pinched spout and the traditional thumb-impressed terminal at the base of the handle. A true antique, the piece features a beautiful "orange peel" glaze texture and a network of fine, age-appropriate crazing. The unglazed bottom shows the expected deep oxidation and authentic shelf wear indicative of a mid-1800s origin. While there is minor, typical "flea-bite" chipping to the rim and spout—standard for authentic utilitarian redware—this pitcher remains in excellent structural condition, free of major cracks or repairs, and retains a high-gloss finish that would highlight any Americana collection.
