William Gray

Reprint of the original, first published in 1860.

From the authors: In this book are pictures of the actual ware, i.e. yellow ware, Rock- ingham, stoneware, ironstone, majolica, semi-porcelain, semi-granite, semi-vitreous, parian, porce- lain, bone china and beleek, manufactured in the East Liverpool area from approximately 1838 tothe 1970's. East Liverpool was truly the Pottery Capital of the United States. More Rockingham and yellow ware was produced here than in any other singular site in the country. The variety and quan- tity of other early wares is still amazing today. James Bennett began an industry the area can still be proud of. By the 1970's, because of competition and the use of aluminum, glass and plastics, the only potteries left on the west side of the Ohio River were Hall China Company, Sterling China Com- pany and a modern Pioneer Pottery Company making mugs and China Specialties products in East Liverpool. This book covers what was made on the west side of the Ohio River. It does not cover the West Virginia potteries right across the river for the simple reason that there have been several books written about those potteries. Therefore, only what Homer Laughlin and Harker potteries made in East Liverpool is shown.Our hope is that the reader will be captivated by the plethora of wares, shapes and decoration of items manufactured in East Liverpool and Wellsville, Ohio. The imagination, artistic design, mold work, serviceability, and sheer beauty of the predominantly everyday ceramic items is astounding. East Liverpool wares could and did compete successfully with the Trenton, New Jersey and early English wares. Clever faux British marks were conceived by the East Liverpool potters to convince American housewives that the ware was the much coveted English ware. Often sellers on Ebay are still fooled.

I, William Gray, seeing I could write poetry and pros, determined this gift was of God, my savior Jesus Christ. I deemed it necessary that I would write for the glory to God for allowing me this opportunity to be in a position to share with others, the love of God; also to warn people that there are consequences to choices we make in life. Now a devout Christian and member of New Creation Cathedral Church, under the leadership of Bishop Anthony Mosley, who have been very supportive of this book compiled with testimonies and inspiration. It is my intent to inspire others that it's time to take a "Closer walk with Thee." My goal is also to encourage hearts and minds that there is hope and that hope is in Jesus the Christ. To the readers, "I encourage you to get up close and personal with the Savior."

In part a sequel to his earlier Death and Fantasy, William Gray’s Fantasy, Art and Life: Essays on George MacDonald, Robert Louis Stevenson and Other Fantasy Writers examines the ways in which “Life” in its various senses is affirmed, explored and enhanced through the work of the creative imagination, especially in fantasy literature. The discussion includes a range of fantasy writers, but focuses chiefly on two writers of the Victorian period, George MacDonald and Robert Louis Stevenson, whose Scottish (and particularly Calvinist) backgrounds deeply affected their engagement with what MacDonald called “The Fantastic Imagination.”

Drawing on philosophy, theology and psychoanalysis as well as on literary criticism, this collection of essays explores a range of fantasy texts with particular attention to the various ways in which they seek to deal with the reality of death. The essays uncover some fascinating links, and indeed tensions, between the writers discussed.
