The Tip is 'Look at the ads' One Suday morning I was reading the paper and started to look at the ads. As I was looking, I noticed one group of ads that had the American flag all over them. This stood out to me and because of the Big Secret I began to look more closely. These ads were for building supplies and I was amazed at how many there were. After looking at the ads this store has become my store of choice when it comes to buying building supplies. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Clay City Pottery Stoneware Clay City Pottery is one of the few family potteries still making traditional stoneware. We have been making pottery for well over a hundred years. Now, the fifth and sixth generations of the Griffith family are working at the pottery. The way the clay is worked and the kiln is fired has changed very little since the beginning of Clay City Pottery. Modernization has come slowly and each generation has contributed its own values while preserving its heritage. The original Griffith family way of making the glazes, processing the local clays, and producing utilitarian stoneware is still in use today. We now use a method of forming the stoneware called jiggering. It was adopted around 1900 and involves quite a bit of hands on work while preserving the look of our traditional wares. Our traditional stoneware is kiln fired for about 72 hours at a temperature of 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes our stoneware very durable and dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe. Our glazes contain no lead and our stoneware is safe for all foods. Our stoneware looks great on your shelf, but we expect you to use it every day. Food stays warm and serves very well in our traditional stoneware bowls and casseroles. You can serve up cornbread, chicken casserole, or home baked pies just like Grandma used to make. 510 E 14th Street Clay City, IN 47841 800-776-2596 ccpstoneware@yahoo.com |
