Aprašymas

Potter, teacher, and writer Jack Troy once said, "If North America has a 'pottery state, ' it must be North Carolina."
North Carolina Potteries Through Time (second edition, revised and updated) proves to readers that his assessment is correct. Prehistoric Native American potters first made pottery in the region, followed by eighteenth-century English and German settlers.
Many generations of potters followed in their footsteps, and today hundreds of potters and ceramics artists turn out ware in every part of the state. In the town of Seagrove, there's a whole museum and educational center dedicated to North Carolina pottery production.
Many private and public collections exist. Buyers seek it out at auctions, antique shops, kiln openings, festivals, and studio sales. This book is chock-full of images representing all periods and styles of pottery made in the state, including many published for the first time.
Readers new to the topic, as well as expert collectors, historians, and potters, will find satisfaction in this richly illustrated and descriptively written volume.
