MOCHA, BANDED, CAT'S EYE, AND OTHER FACTORY-MADE SLIPWARE
by Lynne Sussman
The Council for Northeast Historical Archaeology is pleased to announce the
publication of the inaugural issue of its monograph series, Studies in
Northeast Historical Archaeology. Number 1 in the series is an in-depth
study of factory-made slipwares by one of the field's leading material
culture specialists/ceramic historians, Lynne Sussman.
Factory-made slipware, known historically by the name "dipped," was fine
earthenware decorated with colored slip and mass-produced. It was
manufactured by British, French, and North American potters from the late
18th to the 20th century. This study examines the ware from three points
of view. The first part illustrates and identifies 22 different types of
decoration, and explains in detail their methods of manufacture. The
second part summarizes what is known historically of the ware from
commercial records and marked vessels. The third part, using unmarked
archaeologically retrieved vessels, reconstructs the chronology of the
various types of decoration and forms on which they appeared.
102 pp., 94 figures (b&w) + color cover illustration, 2 tables, 3
appendices, refs.
This handsome publication is a must for historical archaeologists, ceramic
historians and collectors, material culture specialists, and others!
+++++++ There are two ways to acquire this publication.
