The 2004 issue features many important articles including the first color publication of America's earliest stoneware factory-The Poor Potter of Yorktown. In addition, other articles feature previously unpublished information about several important American Salt-glazed stoneware potters. The redware products of Morgantown West Virginia are presented along with information about English porcelain, Maryland tobacco pipes, and a wonderful essay about Bernard Leach's travels in America.
