"North Devon Pottery and Its Export to America in the 17th Century" by C. Malcolm Watkins is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The work focuses on the North Devon ceramics that were exported to America during the 17th century, exploring their cultural significance and the trade connections between England and the American colonies. The text examines various pottery types, their manufacturing processes, and their archaeological findings in colonial America. The opening of this publication introduces the background of North Devon potteries, primarily located in Barnstaple and Bideford, and their unexpected prominence in international trade during the 17th century. It highlights archaeological discoveries from sites such as Jamestown and Plymouth, providing insight into the lives of early American colonists and the domestic wares that contributed to their quality of life. The author outlines the emergence of two distinct pottery types: the sgraffito ware, known for its intricate designs, and a rougher gravel-tempered ware, detailing their historical context and significance in both England and America. This foundational material sets the stage for further exploration of the influence and reach of North Devon pottery during this transformative period.
