This is just in from my publisher Historic Beverly in Massachusetts - the front and back covers of my new 457-page book, A Celebrated Industry: The Historic Wares of Southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County and Cape Cod. The proof copy of the book will be back from the printer next week, and the book will be available to purchase soon after that. This is the fifth book in my early New England pottery book series.
About the Book: "The aesthetics of utilitarian domestic red earthenware are what collectors and museums have been drawn to for more than a century now, although, it was likely an important factor in the marketplace even when red earthenware was originally produced in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In New England, the wares manufactured in southeastern Massachusetts, Bristol County and Cape Cod were unquestionably at the forefront of the visual appeal of the region’s red earthenware production. The wares produced in this part of Massachusetts have it all: form, glaze, skill and refinement, transforming many of these objects into works of art that can be displayed at any art museum in America. This book is the first of its kind to explore this region’s red earthenware production through archaeology, a historical context, as well as the artisty and creativity behind this industy’s production."
