Illustrated is a simple bowl, wheel thrown and
slightly squared made out of stoneware glazed in an iron glaze and the
decoration applied in rutile over the surface. It was the extra from a set of
four, a fifth wheel, long since having found their way to a new home and this
solitary bowl was snagged by my wife and has been part of our mismatched
grouping of pots that we use on a daily basis. It may be different than many in
the cupboard, but this one is home none the less.

beginners." Charles H. Parkhurst (1842-1933)
