The Washingtons had a deep affinity for stoneware and creamware and used it extensively. Salt-glazed fragments excavated from the grounds were replicated in great detail for this pattern. View Post

Health is Wealth: Healthy Websites 🍎
Do website service providers need a digital health label?
May 18, 2024
When you pick up a package of Oreos or yogurt at the grocery store, you can see the nutrition (or lack of it!) on the nutrition label on the back. Health advocates are encouraging the FDA to make warnings more obvious on packages—such as by placing information on the front of the package, shares The Wall St. Journal.

New Vietri Cucina Fresca At Glassworks!

Cucina Fresca, meaning Tuscan Kitchen in Italian, is inspired by the Tuscan landscape: the warm color of wheat, the rich red earth, the fresh greens of nature, the soft creams and whites of clouds, and the cool blues of skies and streams. The classic shapes are reminiscent of 14th-century pottery, and the lush glazes and raw terra cotta edges honor the essence of Tuscany. Stop by Glassworks to get a rustic, handcrafted authenticity to your table!

Our industry has been negatively affected by the loss of American manufacturing after we entered a long stretch of automation and outsourcing in the late 1970s; every ...
