About this title

Synopsis

Unlocking a colonial ceramic world: a detailed study of the Yorktown pottery factory

This volume examines the Yorktown pottery site as a case study in early American ceramic production. It covers kiln technology, salt glazing, the use of flint, and the care taken to stack and glaze wares. The narrative blends excavation findings with practical kiln knowledge, offering a clear picture of how pottery was made, finished, and used in the 18th century.

The book also explores how Yorktown wares moved from the workshop to regional markets. It details early marketing, transport by river and sea, and the expansion from local trade to distant shipments within the English colonies. Through analysis of inventories, account books, and shipping patterns, the text shows how a small colonial factory could compete with imported ceramics.

Learn how kilns were fired, glazed, and broached with salt glaze techniques
See how raw materials like flint influenced clay bodies, slips, and glazes
Understand challenges in production, stacking, and quality control in a colonial factory
Explore how wares circulated from Yorktown to Maryland, New England, and the West Indies

Ideal for readers of archaeology, early American history, and the history of ceramics, this edition provides a grounded look at a specific craft economy in colonial Virginia.
