Buyers seek it out at auctions, antique shops, kiln openings, festivals, and studio sales.

Download or read book The Traditional Potters of Seagrove North Carolina written by Robert C. Lock and published by Alexander Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An encyclopedia of Seagrove, North Carolina area pottery from the 1800s to the present covering identification, styling, glazes, values, rarity & marks. More than a book for collectors & dealers, it presents the story of independent Southern potters who never strayed far from their roots & traditions. Active since the 1700s, these families developed a style & presence never replicated in the United States. As utilitarian ware was displaced, they had to change to survive. By the 1920s, tens of thousands of pieces of hand-turned artware from this community were being shipped to customers like New York's Macy's, Chicago's Marshall-Fields, & garden & gift shops throughout the Midwest, South & Northeast. When they made salt-glazed ware, its quality was near porcelain-like. When they moved to artware & competed with the factory potteries of the early 1900s, their ware was lighter, more varied, & truly unique. With over 600 color photographs, HB, & color dust jacket, this large format book creates a new price/value point in historical/collector oriented books. Robert C.

Download or read book Hyalyn written by Stephen C. Compton and published by America Through Time. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. Leslie Moody and Frances Johnson Moody never owned the company outright, but their dreams shaped North Carolina's Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. and drove it forward to the satisfaction of an emerging, increasingly modern post-World War II America. Hyalyn's reputation for high quality led to its association with top designers like Michael and Rosemary Lax, Eva Zeisel, Georges Briard, Charles Leslie Fordyce, Herbert Cohen, Erwin Kalla, and Esta Brodey. Before moving to North Carolina in 1945, ceramic engineer and designer Less Moody prepared to organize and operate Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. From Zanesville's Mosaic Tile Company, Ohio State University's ceramics department, Love Field Pottery, Abingdon Pottery, San José Potteries, and Rookwood Pottery, he gained expertise in clay formulation, glaze chemistry, product design, plant operation, project planning, advertising, and employee management. With the aid of investors, his dream came true when, in 1946, Hyalyn's first lamp bases and flower containers emerged from the shop's tunnel kiln. Thoroughly documented and illustrated with 425 images, hyalyn: America's Finest Porcelain is a complete history of Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc., and its successors, Hyalyn Cosco, Hyalyn, Ltd., and Vanguard Studios.
Download or read book North Carolina s Moravian Potters written by Stephen C. Compton and published by America Through Time. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina's eighteenth and nineteenth-century Moravian potters were remarkable artisans whose products included coarse earthenware, slip-trailed decorated ware, Leeds-type fine pottery, press-molded stove tiles, figural bottles, toys, and salt-glazed stoneware. Silesian-born and German-trained potter Gottfried Aust was the first to arrive in Bethabara in 1755. After that, numerous apprentices of his carried on the trade in the state and beyond. Some apprentices rose to the rank of master potter. Aust's most successful protégé, Rudolph Christ, excelled in the creation of Queensware, faience, and tortoiseshell-glazed pottery. Swiss-born Heinrich Schaffner, one of several more Moravian master potters, is famously known for his "Salem smoking pipes." Today, museums and private collectors vigorously compete for scarce examples of North Carolina-made Moravian pottery. Every piece found and preserved is like a new paragraph added to the story of the art and mystery of pottery-making in one of the South's earliest settlements.
