The delightful decorations that characterize Pennsbury pottery have
made it a favorite type of American wares since the pottery's
origin in 1950 and a rapidly growing field of collectible interest
today. This book presents the history of the family-run business in
Pennsylvania with the maker's marks, complete listing of the
patterns, reproduction of the 1959 catalog, and hundreds of color
photographs of the pottery pieces. The German immigrant founders of
the pottery works, the Below family, incorporated american
nationalistic folk art designs such as the eagle and shield, as
well as charming figures in Amish dress with Pennsylvania "Dutch"
inscriptions and famous bird designs, into the decorations. the
glazes combine cheerful colors on the characteristic beige
backgrounds of the brown clay pottery. Tablewares predominate these
useful and decorative wares that are recognized as American folk
art forms. After its closure in 1970, the Pennsbury molds and
traditions were continued variously by the Lewis Brothers Pottery,
the Glen View, and Pennington Pottery, and their wares, as the
relate to Pennsbury, also are shown in numerous examples and
explained. This book gives the enthusiast a wealth of documentation
and pictorial reference for identifying, collecting, and enjoying
Pennsbury art pottery.
