Abstract:

In 1916, Jacques Busbee and his wife providing a market by selling North Carolina Pottery in their New York City tearoom. In 1922, Jacques opened Jugtown Pottery in Moore County to train and encourage younger local potters. As well as producing traditional wares of the region, such as whisky jugs, storage jars, and pie dishes, he began introducing more decorative vases based on Chinese and Korean forms he found in museums and library books. The tremendous success of Jugtown Pottery led to the revival of production among other potters in the Moore County area. Jacques Busbee died in 1947, and the Jacques Busbee Memorial Collection later became part of the North Carolina Museum of Art.

Parker, Cherry

Abstract:

Jugtown, as we know it today, was started in 1917 by Jacques Busbee, an artist from a famous old North Carolina family. In the early days, most potters had made jugs for distilleries. When prohibition was enacted, much of the North Carolina pottery making stopped. A few potters kept at their trade, making jars, churns, crocks, and pie dishes. In fact, you might credit the staring of Jugtown to a pie dish.

Anderson, William L.

Abstract:

In 1737, Andrew Duche was the first English colonist in the new world to make porcelain from clay he received from the Cherokee Indians of western North Carolina. After initial enthusiasm and financial success, sales in porcelain from Cherokee clay waned until the 1760's. In 1767, potter Josiah Wedgwood of England reintroduced the product to the British Empire when he acquired Cherokee clay from the Cherokee village of Ayoree in western North Carolina. This was done through the work of his agent, Thomas Griffiths, who also provided a trove of information about Cherokee society and Indian-English trade relations.
