There is a great diversity of redware types. If you have a minute, visit this skinner auction, ending tomorrow. http://www.skinnerinc.com/asp/fullCatalogue.asp?salelot=2412+++++108+&refno=++755886&saletype= and hit the "previous" button on top. There you will find a wonderful range of colors that glazed redware pottery; redware can be slipped decorated, glazed in multitude of colors and those colors can be affected by the firing conditions or the clay (see the orange haloed pots). The potters themselves ranged from the rather "limited in skills" to those who used lathes and molds to compete with the imported wares in the 18th and 19th centuries. Some shops were small, like the Hervey Brooks shops at OSV but others were very large, like in Gloucester that exported their redware down coast in the 18th century. Product satuation, potter migration and the birth of new clay products resulted in many shops closing after 7-10 years. Some redware shops were run by woman.
