Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with that great mass and variety of North American pottery classified as salt-glazed stoneware. Found in every household on the continent in its own day, stoneware pottery served so many and such basic functions that it was simply taken for granted.

Download or read book Great Noble Jar written by Cinda K. Baldwin and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, Great and Noble Jar was the first authoritative study of South Carolina stoneware—from its beginnings in colonial times and its heyday in the 1850s through the post–Civil War period and the first half of the twentieth century. Folklorist Cinda K. Baldwin examines not only many traditional pottery forms but also the methods by which they were thrown, glazed, decorated, and fired. Among the topics on which Baldwin focuses are the contributions of slaves and freed blacks to the pottery industry, including the remarkable work of the potter named Dave, who marked his wares with brief verse inscriptions, including this one found on a large food-storage container: “Great & Noble Jar, / hold sheep, goat, and bear.” The book is illustrated with nearly two hundred photographs (including fifteen color plates), maps, and drawings and includes an index of South Carolina potters.
Download or read book Art for the People written by New York State Museum and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A copiously illustrated and scholarly analysis of the single most important collection of 19th century American decorated stoneware. The book is a careful study of ordinary forms and their humble, utilitarian purposes that became vessels for an expression of a person, of a place, or of an event. What started out as an everyday ware was transformed into a work of art and the decorative designs in cobalt blue afford insight into and reflect life in 19th century America. Sometimes commemorative and other times humorous, whimsical, or provocative, the book's 230 examples and 340 color photographs fully illustrate the variety of decorative folk art imagery, the range of potters and potteries, the broader historical context of manufacturing and transportation, and an important American tradition with regional practices. Senior historian emeritus John L. Scherer's engaging and authoritative text, in tandem with the profuse illustrations, leads to greater understanding of these remarkable works. Published by the New York State Museum and distributed by RIT Press.
