The 2005 issue of Ceramics in America features a diverse lineup of articles and new discoveries.

Of interest to both ceramic collectors and social historians is an article reviewing ceramics related to the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, scholarly interest in ceramics is at an all-time high. As a vehicle for much-needed synthesis, Ceramics in America is an interdisciplinary annual journal that examines the role of historical ceramics in the American context. Intended for collectors, historical archaeologists, curators, decorative arts students, social historians and contemporary potters, every issue features a variety of ground-breaking scholarly articles, new discoveries in the field, and book and exhibition reviews for this diverse audience.
