Here is another book I look to for inspiration and facination,North German Folk Pottery of the 17th to 20th Century by Gerhard Kaufmann.
International Exhibitions, 1979. Paperback.
ISBN 0-88397-006-6
Over 120 B&W and color photograph illustrations with detailed descriptive and background text. 148 page oversized trade paper cover fine.
It is a catalogue of an exhibition of folk pottery from North Germany that toured American museums 1979-80. Early earthenware folk art, folklore and cultural history of northern Germany.
You may be able to get a copy of this out of print book from David and Mary Farrell at Westmoore Pottery of Seagrove, NC.
There are some very interesting forms and great examples of slip trailing.
Can you guess what this is? Hint: it's not a face jug . Maybe I should give away a piece of pottery to the first person who guesses correctly. Hmmm???
I'll give the answer tomorrow.
