What kinds of things did New England potters make in the 19th century?
Jugs, mugs, pitchers, flower pots, pans for baking pies and puddings, lard pots, clay tubes (“thimbles”) for insulating iron stovepipes, pans for setting milk (to allow the cream to rise) and mixing bowls were just some of the items commonly made by rural New England potters. You will see examples of these items here, in the households, and in the re-created Asa Knight store exhibit.
