Too, you're unlikely to find such representation in any other pottery or stoneware guides  .....
Josiah Hanna arrived in Missouri in 1840, and later with his son Joseph, spent 20 years  learning the pottery craft from their in-laws Robert & Thomas Caldwell.
Thomas established the Caldwell Pottery in 1826 in the small village of Pottersville  (
later named Caldwell
) southwest of Fulton, Missouri.
The Caldwell family had apprenticed with German potter named Lears, near Paris, Kentucky,  where they learned to produce salt ware in the old German tradition.
Circa 1862, Josiah moved his family to the Rogue Valley in Oregon and after establishing his  farm subsequently started his own pottery, producing utilitarian pottery for 40 years.
As with many such potteries, the onset of more modern tin and glass canning jars for food  storage caused their demise.
As a consequence such pottery remains
rare
to find  today.
Too, though most of such pottery is unmarked, many had a size number marking and/or other clues.
Once one becomes familiar with this types of pottery, one can usually spot them from a distance, as I am able.
This booklet is not only historically informative, but also an aid in their identification.
