Yellowware or yellow ware- (both spellings are correct) was originally made in England and Scotland. The exact date this type of earthenware pottery started being made is unknown but there is general agreement it was initially produced in the mid to late 1700s, AKA the late 18th century. Yellowware continued to be produced in this area throughout the early 1800s.
Then, around the mid 1800s, skilled potters from England emigrated to the United States and brought their skills, talent and knowledge with them. Additionally, some of the wealthier immigrants who arrived in the United States, brought with them pieces of yellowware pottery from their homeland. So, there were two significant events that coincided. First, there were a limited number of potters who could make yellowware arriving in the United States. Second, there were some pieces of yellowware in the United States that originated from the United Kingdom. That’s how yellowware arrived and started being produced in the United States.
Yellowware pottery’s name is derived from the yellow color of the clay made to make the vessels. Unlike many other pieces of pottery that had a yellow glaze (paint) applied, authentic yellowware is the same color all the way through. The pottery has a clear glaze which allows the innate color of the yellow clay to shine through. skylarkhouse.com/yellowware-pottery/
