Book excerpt: The first comprehensive study of the most important ceramic innovation of the 19th century Colorful, wildly imaginative, and technically innovative, majolica was functional and aesthetic ceramic ware.

Majolica Mania examines the medium’s considerable impact, from wares used in domestic settings to monumental pieces at the World’s Fairs. Essays by international experts address the extensive output of the originators and manufacturers in England—including Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones—and the migration of English craftsmen to the U.S. New research including information on important American makers in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is also featured. Fully illustrated, the book is enlivened by new photography of pieces from major museums and private collections in the U.S. and Great Britain.

Trenton's golden age lasted until the 1920s, when many local industries were bought out by national companies. The story of the subsequent social, political, and economic decline of Trenton is also the story of twentieth-century urban America.

Download or read book The Pottery Industry of Trenton written by Marc Jeffrey Stern and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining Trenton's potters and pottery industry from 1850 to the Great Depression, Marc Stern chronicles industrialization in this competitive, skill-intensive trade. Nineteenth-century potting remained locked in conflicts between and among manufacturers and workers in which price wars and antiunionism invariably undid both the employers' trade associations and employee trade unions. The shift to specialization in sanitary pottery (bathtubs, sinks, and commodes) after 1900, however, saw employers and workers create a cooperative system, which virtually eliminated price wars, strikes, and lockouts. After World War I, competition, federal antitrust legislation, and increased consumer demand led Trenton's manufacturers to call for major concessions from their employees. In a disastrous move, the unionized sanitary pottery workers struck their shops in 1922 only to watch their employers introduce new technologies and less skilled workers. Meanwhile, federal litigation destroyed the trade associations market controls. Large national plumbing supply corporations quickly came to dominate the trade and displace the smaller, independent firms. Stressing the importance of the interaction of market conditions, state intervention, technology, and labor-capital relations. Stern corrects an often fragmented and distorted view of the transformation of this industry and offers a model for understanding the transformation of others.

Download or read book Smokestacks in the Hills written by Lou Martin and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long considered an urban phenomenon, industrialization also transformed the American countryside. Lou Martin weaves the narrative of how the relocation of steel and pottery factories to Hancock County, West Virginia, created a rural and small-town working class--and what that meant for communities and for labor. As Martin shows, access to land in and around steel and pottery towns allowed residents to preserve rural habits and culture. Workers in these places valued place and local community. Because of their belief in localism, an individualistic ethic of "making do," and company loyalty, they often worked to place limits on union influence. At the same time, this localism allowed workers to adapt to the dictates of industrial capitalism and a continually changing world on their own terms--and retain rural ways to a degree unknown among their urbanized peers. Throughout, Martin ties these themes to illuminating discussions of capital mobility, the ways in which changing work experiences defined gender roles, and the persistent myth that modernizing forces bulldozed docile local cultures. Revealing and incisive, Smokestacks in the Hills reappraises an overlooked stratum of American labor history and contributes to the ongoing dialogue on shifts in national politics in the postwar era.

Unabashed optimism, and unabashed racism, pervades many entries in the 11th, and provide its defining characteristics ... Despite its occasional ugliness, the reputation of the 11th persists today because of the staggering depth of knowledge contained with its volumes.
