Central Pennsylvania Redware Pottery, 1780–1904

Jeannette Lasansky's Central Pennsylvania Redware Pottery, 1780–1904 documents the low-fired utilitarian ware made over an eighteen-county area from New York to the Maryland border. An attempt is made not only to locate the potters and their shops, but to learn about those craftsmen and the nature of their pot making. A master index to nearly 600 red earthenware potters is included, as are kiln diagrams, old photos of potters at work, ads, and a list of major redware collections. The centerfold is in full color.
