    This had string all around my wife told me, It was from her Grandmother, Anyone know about these pots

    Hi Steve,
    I apologize for the delay, but just returned from vacation with the family. The Beverly Pottery, also referred to as the Lawrence Pottery was operated by Charles Lawrence off of Creek Street from the 1880s through the early 20th century. The location on the Bass River was ideal because they were near clay, water and power to run the factory. There is actually a good photograph in our collection of the factory along the train tracks. Beverly Pottery made thousands of baked bean crocks in 1891 to be given as souvenirs for a national encampment of the GAR in Boston. This helped reenergize the nickname of “Beantown” for Boston. It looks in great condition and is indicative of the Beverly craftsmanship. Is it stamped anywhere with their logo? Some of their pieces are and others are not.

    Regards,
    Darren

      I've seen a picture of one of these somewhere, I believe it's an earthenware water jug. Fill opening, handle & pour/drinking spout. Mediterranean possibly?

      Thanks my wife remember that her grandmother told her it was from our town in New England?

      Some one may have brought to New England during their travels. In Spain they are called a Botijo. Similar drinking containers can be found in other Mediterranean countries, as well as in Mexico (where it is known as a 'búcaro') and on the Indian subcontinent (where it is called a 'ghara', 'matka' or 'suhari').
