Note: In the catalog description from Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, John Burrison, University of Georgia Press, 2000, pg. 128, cat. no. 272, Burrison writes, "The Cravens were among the oldest and most prominent pottery families in the Seagrove area. Their patriarch. Peter Craven, is said to have been an English potter who migrated to central North Carolina about 1760. Descendants potted in Georgia, Tennessee, and Missouri as well as North Carolina." For the cream riser, cat. no. 273, Burrison writes, "The characteristic North Carolina hat shape also was made by Catawba Valley potters in alkaline-glazed stoneware and may derive from a similar Moravian or Welsh earthenware form."
