Description

Discover the many forms and adornments of Purinton Pottery, an attractive hand-painted slip ware best known for its simple yet beautiful designs.

More than 1100 color photographs chronicle the pottery from its early, primitive Peasant Ware stages after the company was founded in Wellsville, Ohio in 1936, to the ever-popular Apple and Pennsylvania Dutch patterns of the 1940s and '50s, with all known patterns and molds illustrated in chronological order.

The company continued to manufacture pottery until 1959, producing a wide range of items from dinnerware and souvenir items to personalized blessing plates decorated by Dorothy Purinton herself.

This book also identifies the various shapes made by Purinton and displays their children's wares, figurals, Christmas pieces, and experimental items.

The authors go further, identifying pieces signed by the company's two most prestigious decorators, Bill Blair and Dorothy Purinton.

Rounding out this thorough presentation are an index and values guide.
