Synopsis
Excerpt from The "Poor Potter" Of Yorktown, Vol. 3: A Study of a Colonial Pottery Factory; Ceramics
The Yorktown Pottery Factory produced large quantities of utilitarian ceramics during its generation of operation. Both lead glazed earthenwares and salt glazed stonewares, perhaps the earliest in America, were manufactured in a variety of shapes.
A total of 23 shapes were identified as having been made at Yorktown (table 4, Figures 146 Nearly all shapes were found in both bisque and glazed varieties. Of the 23 total shapes, 21 were produced in earthenware and 15 in stoneware Ten forms were produced in either stoneware or earthenware' thirteen forms were produced in both wares.
The large variety of shapes produced by one colonial pottery is remarkable. Possibly many additional shapes were produced as well. Some ceramic shapes are distinctly out of place in Yorktown, an area of English settlement. We refer to the stove tile, many of which, when put together, formed a stove a distinctly Germanic form.
The quality of Yorktown ceramics is high, especially for certain forms, such as mugs and teapots. It is highly probable that very experienced potters worked at Yorktown. Unfortunately, we have no idea of their names or area of birth from documents.
