Daniel Seagle was one of the earliest potters in the Catawba Valley. Seagle excelled at throwing thin-walled, stoneware pots. He coated his vessels with an ash glaze comprised of water, clay, and wood ashes. When fired, it created a smooth, glassy surface on the finished works. The ash glaze tradition is particularly associated with Catawba Valley potters.

Daniel Seagle was one of the earliest potters in the Catawba Valley. In his shop near Vale, he initially produced earthenware but soon turned to stoneware. He was a landowner and farmer but ran a sizable pottery for the time, employing three men. Seagle excelled at throwing thinly walled pots with a good sense of volume. He coated his vessels with an ash glaze comprised of water, clay, and wood ashes. When fired, it created a smooth, glassy surface on the finished works. The ash glaze tradition is particularly associated with Catawba Valley potters.

The Craven family is one of the most notable North Carolina potting dynasties, beginning with Peter Craven (circa 1712–1791), who moved to North Carolina around 1745. Fifth-generation Craven potter Jacob Dorris Craven was one of the most prolific potters in North Carolina, producing as much as 6,000 gallons of jugs, crocks, and pitchers a year.
