An Influential Family of Early Potters: The Clarks of New Hampshire and Related Businesses

$72.00

New Hampshire’s red earthenware industry in the 18th century was largely wares imported to the southern part of the state and along the seacoast by Massachusetts potters, especially those from the pre-1775 industry in Charlestown. But there was also some local colonial production, such as Samuel Marshall, who operated a red earthenware business in Portsmouth before 1750.  This book is the first of its kind to take an in-depth look at the red earthenware made by the Clarks in New Hampshire through archaeology, historical context, aesthetic appeal and how this family was instrumental with red earthenware production in New Hampshire and Vermont. Justin W. Thomas is a resident of Newburyport, Massachusetts, and a collector, researcher and writer about American pottery production from the 17th through the early-20th century.
