Yellowware

[1] Beginning in the late 18th century, potters in Scotland and northern England began manufacturing vessels of yellow-firing clay.

[3] By the early 19th century, potters skilled in yellowware manufacture began to emigrate to the United States.

[2] In the United States, production centered on New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New England and Ohio.

East Liverpool, Ohio, was the manufacturing base of much of the yellowware used in the United States during the mid- to late 19th century.

These were coil-built forms, usually bowls or ladles with a variety of decoration made in Hopi villages from the Pueblo IV period to historic times (c. A.D. 1300 to present).
