More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This title traces the history of the industry, people and pots of the Verwood kilns, which were still firing using traditional methods until 1952. Now, much sought after by collectors, their distinctive pieces are admired for their classic lines, rich glazes and rustic beauty, as well as their place in the history of Dorset ceramics. Topics covered include: the history of the potteries from the 16th century through their peak in the mid-18th century until the last kiln closed at Cross Roads; and descriptions of the jugs, costrels, bread bins, pans, chamber pots, vases and other Verwood posts based on over 1000 surviving examples. The book also includes over 200 illustrations, including archive pictures and specially-commissiond photographs of more than 300 pots.
