redware
Iron-rich earthenware
Redware is a type of pottery made from red clay, typically coated with a lead-based glaze.
It was the dominant form of American colonial ceramics from the 1600s through the 1800s, used for everyday items like plates, bowls, and storage crocks.
The reddish-brown color comes from iron in the clay.
Collectors prize antique redware for its folk decorations and historical significance.
