Abstract:
An inkstand made by John Bell in 1825 is the first inscribed American tin-glazed pottery to be discovered. The tin-glaze technique was introduced by German potter Carl Eisenberg who visited Salem, North Carolina in 1793. Since tin-glaze was so uncommon at the time, many questions remain unanswered regarding Bell’s apprenticeship, influences, and products.

Abstract:
Archaeological excavation and research of the Tildon Easton pottery site in Alexandria, Virginia has enhanced the knowledge base in earthenware and stoneware through much of the nineteenth century. Research also provides evidence of competition for the Wilkes Street pottery, and a better understanding of the industry’s economics and operation in the eastern region.

Abstract:
Pamolu Oldham measured the value of art by the amount of light and way that space was used. Being mindful of these aspects generated an awareness of other aspects, valuable on both sides of the canvas: people and animals, interior and exterior settings, and objects secular and sacred.

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.
