BLUE & WHITE STONEWARE
by Kathryn NcNerney, Collector Books, KY, 1981/1986.
Contents are divided broadly into three areas: Decorating, Cooking and Serving, and Grooming, Comfort & Sanitation. A final chapter deals with the painting technique, recently come back into vogue, using sponges, which led certain stoneware to be called Spongeware. The superb photographs depict birdbaths, vases, bowls, crocks, jars & jugs, pie plates, pitchers, rolling pins, salt and butter containers, spice and storage, chamber pots, sand jars, cuspidors and washstand pieces—among other household items commonly made of stoneware in days of yore. This value guide has been updated; it constitutes an essential reference work for collectors of kitchenware and antique household earthenwares. A quick-reference index rounds out this helpful volume.
