Henderson's Redware Pottery

Food Safe. Oven, Microwave, and Freezer Safe. Kenneth Henderson makes reproduction Redware Pottery in styles of the early 19th century new England Pottery, and traditional Anglo-American. Henderson's Redware Pottery's pots, trays, chargers, and mugs, are based on artifacts that Kenneth Henderson has personally examined. Photographs of pottery remnants and artifacts archaeological quality line drawings, as well as period illustrations all help to deign practical pottery pieces that are true to time and tradition. He also trained as a potter at Old Sturbridge Village from 1986 to 1990, really brining the whole process full circle.

Henderson's Redware Pottery uses clay that is natural Earthenware, rather than a manufactured clay body. His Pots are wheel-turned, or less frequently, drape or slump molded. Every piece is handmade and hand decorated. Nothing is jiggered or ram-pressed. The Pots are green-glazed, and then single fired, in glazes specifically designed to look like historic glaze color palettes.

Henderson's Redware unambiguous glazes are a bright and transparent reddish brown, accented by a vivid yellow glaze. Added depth and character are achieved by the addition of manganese dioxide, which creates black speckles within the reddish brown glaze. The historic decoration techniques implemented by Henderson's Redware are either Slip Trailing, Sgraffito (Noth Devon Tradition), or Daubing with a manganese dioxide stain. Slip Trailing creates a raised design, which Sgraffito creates an incised decoration. The glazes are food safe, and all of Henderson's Redware Pottery pieces are totally functional within the context of its historic usage.
