wheel-thrown stoneware glazed alkaline glaze

Gift of the Mint Museum Auxiliary and Daisy Wade Bridges from the Collection of Walter and Dorothy Auman
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.
