It has been a center for potters and pottery making for more than 250 years and is considered the longest continual history of pottery making in the United States. Several families have been creating pottery in this clay rich area of the Piedmont for nine generations, with an evolution from utilitarian redware and salt-glazed stoneware to a diverse art form with over 100 working potters today. The area was officially designated as the \"State Birthplace of North Carolina Traditional Pottery\" in 2005.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"villageantiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45069986562248,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/9066\/3012\/files\/IMG_8036.png?v=1777573345","url":"https:\/\/villageantiquesonline.com\/products\/north-carolina-seagrove-amphora-vase","provider":"Village Antiques and Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
