    I don't have a garden to produce vegetables for canning, but I do can chicken stock or beef stock. Home canning is not as widespread as it used to be, but it's still common enough that my local large drugstore carries canning supplies.

    Great collection!!

    My mom and dad used to stay up very late at night canning food from our garden. This was after a full days work. They used an old pressure cooker to seal the jars. The results were delicious.

    This looks like a normal stack of preserves from my Georgia Grand parents basement shelves in the 1950's (but they had more Peaches and watermelon)

Cups, vases and plates galore!

    Extract from the Manufacturer's Report. We made a large quantity of China from the Clay. The Clay came to us with all its impurities. It was washed and the Mica taken from it and used without any of the careful processes of preparation to which our English Clays are subjected. Taking this fact into account, the results were surprisingly good. We see no reason why Clay Works should not be erected in Ireland as we are confident that the Clay is of considerable value. Note: Josiah Wedgwood the great Potter in giving evidence before the House of Commons stated that the English Potters obtained their Clay from Devon, Dorset, Cornwall and the Irish Coast

    Lovely pots but was Mason showing off Wedgewood pottery or some Irish version???
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This seems to suggest that this is not so much a display of pottery as a proof that potters clay could be produced in Ireland.

    Per Niall McAuley, looks like Irish stuff to me - seemingly produced/offered as "proof of concept". The jar and long stemmed item in the centre seem to have Irish language text on them. The jar has:
