Hollow Ware ~ StoringHollow Ware refers to three-dimensional pottery, generally for domestic use. In other words, it’s everything but the plates! Plain hollow ware was most common, but slip trailed examples (pottery decorated with clay slip) were sometimes used at table and hearth. In descriptions below, “d” indicates “depth,” and “h” indicates “height.” For special order decorations (wren, chicken, leaf, wheat sprig, lace, etc.) on any item in the catalogue, consult Stephen Earp Redware.
