Hollow Ware ~ ServingHollow Ware refers to three-dimensional pottery, generally for domestic use. In other words, it’s everything but the plates! Plain hollow ware was most common, but slip trailed examples (pottery decorated with clay slip) were sometimes used at table and hearth. In descriptions below, “d” indicates “depth,” and “h” indicates “height.” For special order decorations (wren, chicken, leaf, wheat sprig, lace, etc.) on any item in the catalogue, consult Stephen Earp Redware.

Barrel shaped mugs, often referred to as “cider mugs,” were popular during early presidential campaigns in the United States. 101P plain (4.5"h) $18.00 |

Flasks,Plain and DecoratedFlasks were common in the Connecticut region from the late 1700's onward but were relatively rarer in other parts of New England.

Stephen Earp Redware continues this practice, though designs are taken from a variety of historical sources, not just those found on historical flasks.
