Excerpt from Grand Feu Ceramics: A Practical Treatise on the Making of Fine Porcelain and Gres There has been in late years a remarkable artistic revival in pottery as in other crafts. This movement, which originated in France, has spread to the United States and is rapidly growing. The making of artistic porcelain, however, has been but slightly attempted in this country. It is probably because of the difficulty of the task that American artist potters, under the leadership of Rookwood and Gruchy, have hitherto almost exclusively applied their skill to the producing of pottery fired at comparatively low temperatures, not realizing perhaps the intimate connection which exists between the quality of the body and the quality of the glaze and colors.
