Stoneware Jar Made at The Factory Of Thomas Warne and Joshua Letts

Stoneware jar made at the factory of Thomas Warne and Joshua Letts in South Amboy, New Jersey in 1807; stamped “LIBERTY FOREV / WARNE & LETTs 1807 / S. AMBOY. N. JERSY.” This impression is possibly a reference to President Thomas Jefferson’s trade embargo with both England and France at a time when the young republic was in danger of becoming directly involved in the Napoleonic Wars.
