This improbable venture, founded in a most unlikely setting, has left its indelible mark on a remote Southern community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated with numerous black-and-white and color photographs of the place, the people who made pottery there, and the pottery produced by them, the book tells how the Busbees convinced a few of rural Moore County’s old-time utilitarian potters to make new-fangled wares for them to sell in Juliana’s Greenwich Village tea room and shop. Following New Yorkers’ wild acceptance of their primitive-looking and alluring pottery offerings, the Busbees built their own workshop in rural Moore County and called it Jugtown. Today, nearly one hundred potters make and sell their wares within a few miles of Jugtown—all because a hundred years ago, the Busbees and their Jugtown potters found a new way to make old jugs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033036603632,"sku":"9780895876720","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780895876720_p0.jpg?v=1763853846","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780895876720","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
