The Red Hills

Early Pennsylvania pottery

“…Slipware shows the waved lines, the turkey feet, and often the same simplicity typical of Indian pottery. Weygandt (9) mentions the Indian motives on pie plates and thinks that they "may be the very work of Indian help, which was often employed when it was available, as by the Moravians in the Forks of the Delaware." Flowers were most frequently used as the theme for decoration.…”

“…In recent years Pennsylvania Dutch pottery and antiques have been the subject of numerous popular articles and even books. Cornelius Weygandt (9) has described in pleasant David Grayson style his years of study and collecting. "The Red Hills" is largely devoted to early Pennsylvania pottery.…”
