About
The White family produced salt-glazed stoneware in Utica starting with Noah White in 1838. In this presentation Fred Capozzella will discuss the history of that pottery from its founding through the end of stoneware production in 1907 and the final closing in 1910. He will also discuss the role of the Erie Canal and the canal system in the creation and success of White's Utica. In addition to the illustrated presentation, Fred will be bringing along examples of White's Utica products from his personal collection.
