Decorated Stoneware Pottery of North America
Rutland, VT: Tuttle Company, 1971. Hardbound. Embossed tan cloth. 232 pp. with 300 illustrations in bw. VG, lacks dustjacket. Item #36070
A definitive work on this subject, and still a classic after 30+ years. From the dustjacket: "Historically, the reader will trace the growth of folk pottery from the small one-man establishments producing hand-done products to large factories with mass-produced items in the hundreds; he will not, further, the changes in materials and productive methods, the standardizing of ornamentation and motifs, and the refining of techniques for shaping, stamping, and glazing pottery. Graphically, the scholarly yet entertaining text is supplemented by more than 300 black-and-white photographs of early American and Canadian stoneware - from crocks, inkwells, porringers, and the proverbial jug to bottles, banks, and Blind Pigs."
