Table of Contents Description: The Zanesville Stoneware Company is one of the oldest potteries in the country, and the last surviving pottery that dates from Zanesville's golden era of pottery production. The company remained in continuous operation without a strike or shutdown at the same location for over 100 years. This book is the first to focus on this mysterious pottery, often overlooked by collectors as unidentifiable because the simple pieces are unmarked. A closer inspection of Zanesville pieces reveals harmonious glazes, creating depth and subtlety for sight, as well as texture for touch, seldom produced by similar potteries of the time. Through hundreds of color photographs of production pieces, garden ware, glaze types, and a detailed 200+ page catalog section, this book traces the roots of Zanesville pottery from the Ohio Encaustic Tile Co. through the E.G.

This pioneering book showcases the beautiful pieces of the Zanesville Stoneware Company. Publisher's Review: This book features the beautiful, sometimes overlooked Zanesville read more
