Two things we're very fond of are: Clifton
Indian Ware and American Archaeology.
Finding the original for this book a few years
ago, we knew it had to be reprinted.
When Jesse Fewkes published his
findings at these Arizona Pueblo ruins in 1904, it
was an instant hit. One company designed an entire
line of art pottery inspired by these wonderful
designs. This company was, of course, the Clifton
Art Pottery of Newark New Jersey. It's no
coincidence that names like Homolobi, Chaves Pass
and Four-Mile Ruin were used on the famous art
pottery they produced starting in 1905 (the year
after this book was published). These archaeolgical
sites have become household words to every
Indianware afficianado and this book is the story
behind the archaeological sites that inspired what
many consider to be one of the most
interesting American Art Pottery lines ever
produced.
