By Charles G. Zug, III.

Chapel Hill; University of North Carolina Press: 1986.

“This richly illustrated portrait of North Carolina's pottery traditions tells the story of the generations of ‘turners and burners’ whose creations are much admired for their strength and beauty. Terry Zug began documenting the craft in 1974 and traveled throughout the state recording the reminiscences of potters, former potters, and members of potters' families who recalled the old craft in remarkable detail. He systematically photographed and cataloged old pots, located early shop sites, and carefully recorded the remaining waster dumps of broken shards and decaying equipment. His primary source, however, was the potters themselves. Their interviews provide an insider's view of their world and reveal the powerful underlying logic and autonomy of their craft.”

Hardcover. 8.5”x10”, xxi + 450 pages, 20 color plates and hundreds of black & white illustrations, dust jacket; a fine, clean, tight copy.
