1971 · 36070 — Rutland VT: Tuttle Company 1971. Hardbound. VG lacks dustjacket. Embossed tan cloth. 232 pp. with 300 illustrations in bw. 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."
