Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with that great mass and variety of North American pottery classified as salt-glazed stoneware. Found in every household on the continent in its own day, stoneware pottery served so many and such basic functions that it was simply taken for granted. Gradually replaced by other materials, and by the advances of environmental technology (particularly food preservation and packaging), salt-glazed stoneware finally passed from the scene, like so many obsolete domestic objects, unnoticed and unrecorded. -- pf. 15.
