680Saugus, MA cast iron pot
ca. 1645-1680; with five sided legs worn to stumps, most likely a rare survivor made at the Saugus Ironsworks in Lynn, Massachusetts, the first successful blast furnace erected and operated in America; It was cast in a baked clay mold, evidenced by the faint parting line running from one side to the other, passing across the bottom. Most of these “loam molded” early pots were built up of clay layers on a horizontal rotating spindle like a lathe. This method utilizes the central hole after the spindle was removed as a sprue or round hole where the molten iron could be poured into the mold, leaving a round button when the iron cooled and the solidified “sprue” was broken off. Smaller Saugus pots were cast like this but larger pots were molded on a vertical rotating potter’s wheel and had no spindle through the center and no sprue at the center of the pot bottom, rather the sprues were off center to the left and/or right of the center line and always on the bottom since pots were cast bottom-up. Two other large pots of likely Saugus origin at Historic New Paltz, New York and The Winterthur Museum, Delaware were made the same way. Like this pot, both have five-sided legs (with slightly enlarged feet since they are not worn to stumps), typical of Saugus products. The ears or lugs where the bail is attached on this pot are of distinctive shape not noted elsewhere. The wooden pattern used to mold the ear had a horizontal round piece tenoned through the flattened curved vertical piece. The curved section also had a slight break from curved to vertical below its join to the horizontal section on which the bail pivots. Ears of this exact form and type have been excavated at Saugus and are not known to have been made or used elsewhere. These details suggest that this pot is one of the rare surviving cast products of this significant 17th Century ironworks, now reconstructed as a museum. The rusted appearance of this surviving pot belies its importance; 13 1/2"d, 10 1/2"h; Condition: rust, pitting and hole in the bottom indicative of long use as a flower planter, original bail
