Yellowware, or yellow ware, is a type of earthenware named after its yellow appearance given to it by the clay used for its production. Originating in the United Kingdom in the late 18th-century it was also produced in the eastern United States from the late 1820s. ==History== Colonists settling in the United States brought European pottery techniques with them. They were limited by the materials available to them, however, and colonial ceramic production was limited to redware and stoneware, with occasional attempts to produce creamware and porcelain Beginning in the late 18th century, potters in Scotland and northern England began manufacturing vessels of yellow-firing clay. The trade spread to Wales. By the early 19th century, potters skilled in yellowware manufacture began to emigrate to the United States. In the United States, production centered on New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New England and Ohio. The earliest documented American yellowware was in 1797, with large-scale production starting in 1828 in New Jersey. East Liverpool, Ohio, was the manufacturing base of much of the yellowware used in the United States during the mid- to late-19th century. It has been estimated that "between 1865 and 1885, Ohio alone produced half of the America's yellowware". By the early 20th century yellowware was no longer fashionable. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yellowware」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
