Ceramics In America 2009
Editors: Luke Beckerdite and Robert Hunter.
The 2009 and 2010 volumes of Ceramics in America are devoted entirely to the history and manufacture of North Carolina earthenware pottery, made from 1755 up until around 1850. The production of North Carolina lead-glazed earthenware has previously been only partially described and understood before now, with the majority of research covering the well-documented Moravian pottery and makers.
Knowledge about the 1755-1850 years of NC pottery has dramatically increased in the last 30 years, and the text of these two books reflects that extensive knowledge.  This, the 2009 volume, focuses on a reevaluation and reattribution of those wares made by the talented Moravian potters of central North Carolina (in and around Winston-Salem and Salisbury area). A special chapter focuses on the history of the press-molded figural bottles, glazed in a variety of colors.  Contributors include archaeologists, ceramic scholars, potters, curators and museum professionals.
NEW, hardcover edition, 232 pages, with many beautiful color illustrations throughout.

 

 

 

Ceramics In America 2009 and 2010

The two volumes together, 2009 and 2010, serve as the
accompanying catalog for a special traveling exhibition, titled
ART IN CLAY: Masterworks of North Carolina Earthenware,
which opened at the Milwaukee Art Museum in October 2010 and
will soon travel to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, then to
Williamsburg, Virginia, and finally to Huntsville, Alabama.  
Noted folklorist, Dr, Henry Glassie, recently testified, that “In
design and production, in perfect photography and
meticulous scholarship, Ceramics in America sets the standard
for research on material culture in the United States.”

Ceramics In America 2010
Editors: Luke Beckerdite and Robert Hunter.
The 2010 volume of Ceramics in America, like the 2009 volume before it, is compiled to highlight new discoveries and manufacturing techniques which address a diversity of sources (potters and traditions) unique to North Carolina earthenware pottery, during the 1755 up to 1840s period. This new data is used to compare and contrast the work of several backcountry potters and their own traditions to those of the Moravians of central North Carolina.  To this extent the 2010 volume has been described as a “revelation” to the study of North Carolina redwares in general, demonstrating several very robust and well-defined enclaves of non-Moravian potters in the areas of Alamance, Chatham, Guilford, Person and Randolph counties, during the same timeframe (mid-18th century to mid-19th century). Knowledge about the 1755-1850 years of NC pottery has dramatically increased in the last 30 years, and the text of these two books reflects that increased knowledge.  Contributors to this volume include archaeologists, ceramic scholars, curators, potters, and museum professionals.
NEW, hardcover edition, 252 pages with many beautiful color illustrations throughout.
