Yellow Ware was made in Scotland and England as early as the 1600s.  Early Americans could buy imports at their local shops.  Shards of old English Yellow Ware is found at many sites thoughout the new world. American potters started making pots from buff clays in the late 1700s. American Yellow ware and Stone ware wasn't mass produced till the 1800s.

Red Ware was made in New England by the Native Americans. It was fired in pits and was very pourous, but suited their needs for storage and cooking very well.  Europeans started making pots from our abundant red clay from the beginning of their settlements.  Not every town had a resident potter. Some larger towns had several. In outlying communities, potters were usually farmers who made pots in their spare time.  Many times, potteries were pasted down to sons and other relatives who kept their families pottery business for years, some moved to other areas to start their own potteries. 

The pottery on this page is especially design for reenactors and museums. 
Pippins and Bean Pots have been tested over coals and cook vegetables, meats, puddings and stews if placed amoung hot coals or on a trivit over hot coals.
