Table of Contents

This entirely different book on American Stonewares presents the history and the technology of production. Complete chapters describe the method of turning clay into pots, common and uncommon forms in which pots were made, the meaning of various marks and the varieties of decoration, the glazes employed, and the firing process.

Never before have the various forms manufactured been so completely described and pictured. Temporal and regional variations are presented. Pots from different areas of the United States and Canada and dating from the earliest eighteenth century pieces into the twentieth century are included.

A detailed chapter on glazes describes the characteristics of the four major forms of glaze used upon American Stonewares, including the curious Southern Alkaline glaze. The manner of preparation, components, characteristics and defects of these glazes are fully presented. A chapter on firing includes a description of various methods of stacking and furniture for this as well as a discussion of the effects of firing upon the body clay and the glazes.

A very nice book! Classic Umezu
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Might have a small crease or two but feels great to hold and the spine art was a pleasant surprise! And for being from the 60s, the illustrations have a crisp quality. Volume 1 ends on a Part 1 so you’ll have to wait until this December for Volume 2 if you want to finish the last story. In all, I am happy with this book.

Great Read!

Another Kazuo Umezz classic! Couldn't put in down. Pretty graphic body horror considering the time this manga was originally published.

Beautiful edition gives this classic the recognition it deserves
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I am over the moon for this Manga volume. The dimensions fit perfectly in one hand. And is perfect for casual reading. There's something about it that invokes such charm. I don't know quite how to put my finger on it. I own other Reissues of classic manga such as Tezuka. And they often come a bit oversized. Which tends to increase the weight. This one, like Umezz's imaginative storytelling has a particular lightness to it that is a joy. The way the cover opens is excellent. And expect no creasing. The paper quality, of course. is second to none and Umezz's art jumps off the page. The Red color is so stylized. Vibrant and beautiful . the image of Cat-Eyed Boy on the cover has a gloss sheen to it, which makes it really stand out. Not to mention the Story! Umezz's story is truly a creative masterwork that will intrigue and charm readers. This manga volume is so well produced. It truly lives up to the title of "perfect edition". Looking to see more editions like this
