Stoneware was, naturally, made all over the state of Virginia, and these highlights are drawn from all areas except for Alexandria (which has its own page alongside other D.C. area pottery) and Strasburg / Winchester (which is listed alongside related redware on our Shenandoah Pottery page). Above you will find examples from potters like J.D. Heatwole and the Coffman family in Rockingham County; John Morgan in Rockbridge County; G. N. Fulton in Alleghany County; J.P. Schermerhorn in Henrico County / Richmond; and Henry Lowndes in Petersburg.
