John:
 
You might take a look at the Web page for the McKissick Museum,
University of South Carolina, Columbia   http://www.sc.edu/dave    The
museum just opened a new exhibit called "I made this jar..." the life
and works of the enslaved African-American potter, Dave.  Dave produced
alkaline-glazed stoneware in South Carolina's Edgefield District.
The book, "Great and Noble Jar: Traditional Stoneware of South
Carolina," (Cinda Baldwin, USC Press, 1993) also has information on
Dave.
