This is the second updated, and enhanced edition of a book that has been unavailable as the original edition was sold out over 10 years ago but is now brought back by popular demand. The Potters and Potteries of Chester County, Pennsylvania has been the bible of pottery research nationally and has inspired others to document pottery in other regions. A whole generation of students of pottery has learned from author Dr. James' research. For the second generation of historians and collectors this book is essential reading, because it is not a survey or general essay, but rather the complete story of the potteries and their makers of Chester County. A tremendous amount of historical and genealogical information has been woven into the text, and the sense of humor it is told with and local anecdotes it contains makes this a read to be enjoyed by all. This book is great for pottery students and enthusiasts, and anyone wishing to get involved, and also is a necessity for appraisers, dealers, and collectors for identifying makers and styles of pottery.
