Description:
Covered Stewpot, attributed to the Nathaniel Rochester Pottery, West Bloomfield, NY, 1818-1831. Handled ovoid form with flange for lid, decorated on the belly with trailed white, manganese, and green colored slips. Lid not original to pot. Nathaniel Rochester Pottery's redwares were some of the most colorfully decorated pottery made anywhere in western New York State. Much of the known pottery is adorned with various colors of slip-decoration, where the known forms include various types of jars and pitchers. The site of the Rochester Pottery was excavated by George R. Hamell, an archaeologist from the Rochester Museum & Science Center in the 1970s. Sherds from the site revealed a wide range of slip-decorated dishes produced there, much of which is similar to pottery produced in Pennsylvania and throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. There was also a broad spectrum of glaze colors including a bright green glaze.
