Salt Glaze Stoneware - Identification & Value Guide

Terry Taylor, Terry & Kay Lowrance

Collector Books, 1997

Utilitarian molded stoneware dominated the market for everyday household wares from about 1890 until the mid 1930s.  Using plentiful white clays pressed into an almost endless array of patterned molds, applying color for decoration, and glazing the competed product, potteries moved away from hand thrown pottery as a response to the mass-production of glasswares such as the ubiquitous Mason Jar.  Then between 1930 and the mid-1950s the plastic entered the market to achieve total dominance over the older forms of storage, pouring and preserving containers.  The stoneware containers fell into disfavor, leading to the modern interest in collecting these products.  These wares from a bygone era are now recognized for their artistry even though they were originally produced very inexpensively and were never in their day intended for decorative purposes,  This guide  is to assist in identifying the shapes, colors and values of these wares.

Hardcover, glossy graphic decorated boards, 11 1/4" X 8 3/4", well illustrated with color photographs throughout.  Includes indices of forms and patterns.
