Description: THE CLAY GIANTS – THE STONEWARE OF RED WING, GOODHUE COUNTRY, MINNESOTA – BOOK 2 by Lyndon C. Viel, Wallace-Homestead, IA. 1980. *** 1979-1980 Revised Price Guide *** “Over 550 all new photographs of Stoneware products and catalogs continues Lyndon Viel’s research into the stoneware of Red Wing, Goodhue County, Minnesota. The author’s first book was regarded as the best book ever written on this popular collectible. Information from CLAY GIANTS BOOK 1 is updated and the final conclusion of the ‘circle, star, circle,’ trademark controversy is revealed. Extensive coverage is given to ‘lunch hour’ and factory custom pieces, including signed designs never attributed to Red Wing. Newspaper clippings, glaze descriptions, histories of fires, incorporations, name changes and miniatures complete this most comprehensive book on the giants of the industry.” This book covers by chapter: Introduction; Clay- Dates and Discoveries; Update – Notes on Additions and Corrections to The Clay Giants I; Notes of Glazes; The pre – “Pot Shop” Potters (J.C. Pohl, David Hallum); The Pot Shops (Red Wing Stoneware Company, Minnesota Stoneware Company, North Star Stoneware Company, Color Section – All Companies; Union Stoneware Company, Red Wing Union Stoneware Company); “Lunch Hour” pieces. Pictured and described are examples of crocks, bowls, pitchers, jugs and jars, mugs, butter churns, animal figurines and other novelty items, and more. This early book is a collector’s item in itself and an invaluable resource reference for the serious collector, dealer, or historian of antique stoneware. 8.5” x 10.9” softback in good condition. 168 pages. *** Front cover has a crease.
