Countryman-Forbes
Stoneware Collection
Collection of traditional nineteenth and early twentieth century stoneware from Alabama
Ron Countryman did early research on Sand Mountain potters and
contributed to the 1986 exhibit "Pottery from the Mountains of Alabama".
Joe Forbes made the beautiful photos and the web site.
Information about potters is taken from
ALABAMA FOLK POTTERY by Joey Brackner 2006
We love studying pottery and finding connections between pieces.
