American Redware Coffee Pot
Unusual American redware coffee pot, attributed to Thomas Haig, Philadelphia, circa 1830. Ht. 11". Condition: Chips to spout; small rim chip to cover and rim of pot. This pot was part of Haig's attempt to replicate and compete with English refined black glazed earthenware imported to the States.

This teapot has similar rouletted bands as the coffee pot. Also, the turned ring foot is the same type as this coffee pot.
