520 8  The 2020 volume of Ceramics in America is a celebration of
       the depth and diversity of ceramics used in the American 
       context. Beautifully illustrated articles explore the 
       making of ornamental building bricks and the role of 
       manufactured tableware in promoting issues of social 
       equality and global injustices. The important history of 
       Philadelphia's Franklin Institute in fostering domestic 
       ceramics manufacturing in the United States is reviewed. A
       thrilling narrative recounts and archaeological discovery 
       of an exotic "black delft" teapot from Charleston's 
       Drayton Hall and subsequent pursuit of an extremely rare 
       antique parallel.  Other articles include significant new 
       findings concerning Martha Washington's and Thomas 
       Jefferson's Chinese porcelains, and a surprising account 
       of Pueblo pottery collected by the Villeroy & Boch Company
       of Mettlach, Germany in the late nine-teenth century.
