Southwest VA or East Tennessee redware bottle

Sign In to see what this sold for

Unusual Southwest Virginia or East Tennessee redware bottle. Lead glaze and possible traces of copper oxide glaze, sine wave incising around shoulder. Bottle is flattened on two sides, glazed on the bottom. Very good condition. 5 1/2" height. 19th century. Note - the sine wave incising, rim, glaze voids, and footed base of this bottle is very similar to redware associated with the Cain pottery of Sullivan Co., TN. However, the presence of copper oxide in the glaze and the glazed bottom is more atypical for Cain forms. Sine wave redware forms with similar glaze void issues are also attributed to Jesse Henkel of Botetourt Co., VA.
