Items related to North Carolina's Moravian Potters: The Art and...
North Carolina's eighteenth and nineteenth-century Moravian potters were remarkable artisans whose products included coarse earthenware, slip-trailed decorated ware, Leeds-type fine pottery, press-molded stove tiles, figural bottles, toys, and salt-glazed stoneware. Silesian-born and German-trained potter Gottfried Aust was the first to arrive in Bethabara in 1755. After that, numerous apprentices of his carried on the trade in the state and beyond. Some apprentices rose to the rank of master potter. Aust's most successful protégé, Rudolph Christ, excelled in the creation of Queensware, faience, and tortoiseshell-glazed pottery. Swiss-born Heinrich Schaffner, one of several more Moravian master potters, is famously known for his "Salem smoking pipes." Today, museums and private collectors vigorously compete for scarce examples of North Carolina-made Moravian pottery. Every piece found and preserved is like a new paragraph added to the story of the art and mystery of pottery-making in one of the South's earliest settlements.

About the Author:
STEPHEN C. COMPTON was a small-town newspaper photographer in 1974 when he first visited Jugtown Pottery and a few others in North Carolina's Seagrove region. Born to collect things, he was determined following his assignment to create his own North Carolina pottery collection. Since then, he has brought together one of the state's largest private collections, representing all periods of pottery production. Examples from his collection are often borrowed for exhibition and publication. He is the author of six North Carolina pottery-related books and frequently speaks to groups and teaches classes on the topic.
