While some of the earlier Western Pennsylvania stoneware may somewhat resemble Baltimore or Philadelphia stoneware of the time period, these potters would quickly develop a style all their own. Most known for the cobalt stenciled makers' and merchants' names that adorn so much of this stoneware, the plethora of names and nuances to decorations makes pottery from this area an extremely collectible subset of American stoneware in general.
