Clay Traditions: Redware to Rockingham
Redware, shaped from iron‑rich red clay, emerged in America by the late 17th century as a staple for everyday household use. Yellowware, formed from buff to yellow‑orange clay, flourished from the mid‑19th to early 20th centuries, with Ohio becoming a major center of production.
MochaWare—an English dipped earthenware made between about 1780 and the 1840s—is prized for its lively, chemical‑reaction decoration applied to wet slip. Rockingham, meanwhile, refers to the deep brown glaze developed in England and widely adopted by American potteries; although often linked to Bennington, many examples are better described simply as Rockingham brown glaze.
Collected today for their form, surface character, and historical resonance, these wares showcase the ingenuity and expressive possibilities of early utilitarian pottery across American and English traditions.
