In the 19th century, stoneware containers served many useful functions--from the preparation and storage of food to the service of food at mealtime.
By the mid-1800s, stoneware vessels changed from the classically ovoid shape to more cylindrical crocks and jugs, thus the item's shape has become a determining measurement for dating stoneware containers.
Smaller pieces like jugs, pots, and pitchers were created by hand on a potter's wheel. Larger containers, such as butterchurns, were formed in wooden molds. An awl or pointed stick was used to scratch a design into the surface. Freehand decoration was often applied with cobalt blue paint.
The pieces were then placed in a beehive-shaped kiln. When the heat was at its maximum--about 2100 degrees Fahrenheit--a "salt glaze," (the shiny and somewhat pitted finish) was obtained by throwing a bucket of coarse salt into the kiln.
Although most potters were not trained artists, they had a desire to make utilitarian stoneware objects aesthetic and decorative. Their creations stand today as prime examples of American Folk Art.
