Classic North Carolina stoneware pots-with their rich textures, monochromatic glazes, and minimal decoration-belong to one of America's most revered stoneware pottery traditions. With hundreds of color photographs highlighting the shapes and surfaces of carefully selected pots, The Potter's Eye honors the keen focus vernacular potters bring to their materials, tools, techniques, and history. It is an evocative guide for anyone interested in the aesthetic majesty of this resilient and long-standing tradition.
