2 total works
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, scholarly interest in ceramics is at an all-time high. As a vehicle for much needed synthesis, Ceramics in America is an interdisciplinary annual journal that examines the role of historical ceramics in the American context. Intended for collectors, historical archeologists, curators, decorative arts students, social historian and contemporary potters, this third issue features a variety of ground-breaking scholarly articles, new discoveries in the field, and book and exhibition reviews for this diverse audience.
The 2004 issue features many important articles including the first color publication of America's earliest stoneware factory-The Poor Potter of Yorktown. In addition, other articles feature previously unpublished information about several important American Salt-glazed stoneware potters. The redware products of Morgantown West Virginia are presented along with information about English porcelain, Maryland tobacco pipes, and a wonderful essay about Bernard Leach's travels in America.
