The authors have done a fairly exhaustive job of presenting a broad overview of what can be known about the early potters of this region, both major companies and the smaller artisans whose names have been mostly forgotten. Those who buy, sell or collect pieces from this region will find the book quite useful. It may also pique your interest to look yet further for more early examples which may have been previously overlooked or un-attributed! ---- copyright 2004, Collector Bookstore, John K, Reviewer PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: More than 400 examples--most in color--of pottery from North Carolina are showcased in this oversize book.
