Early American Folk Art Pottery Stoneware - Pitchers Crocks Jugs Etc. / Book

Description: Approximately 500 color and black-and-white photographs with in-depth captions and a scholarly narrative combine to review the history and production of early American folk art pottery and stoneware. EARLY AMERICAN FOLK POTTERY by Harold F. Guilland, Chilton Book Co., NY, 1971. “Here are the utensils our forebears used – the pots, plates, jars, beakers, pitchers, bowls, crocks – and the information on how they were made and designed. [The author’s] detailed descriptions of the pottery – size, color, design, where made – and the excellent photographs make this the most valuable and comprehensive book that treats of the Colonial earthenware and stoneware tradition, American design and methods and changes from the use of earthenware in 1640 to the time of stoneware, 1700-1880, when the customs and the ensuing needs of American life altered and even the manners and mores of the time reflected in the pottery. Valuable information about techniques and processes are enlarged with examples of how the ordinary adjuncts of everyday life fit into the picture. The decoration of a plate or keg often told a story, such as the decoration on a keg which symbolized the high quality of Holland gin which had the ‘bite’ of a swordfish or the ‘sting’ of a swarm of angry bees!” The profuse illustrations, in-depth captions, and rich narrative combine to make this rare book a leading reference on the subject of antique American pottery and stoneware. 7.4” s 10.5” hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 322 pages.
