Notes |
Eb Stone, formerly of Rookwood Pottery, was a potter who married Walter Cornelison's sister and bought out the Griggs and Grinstead Pottery in Waco, Kentucky. The donor and her first husband, Bob Limoges, tried to sell Stone's pottery in a Chicago suburb in 1933, hoping to capitalize on the World's Fair. Her mother, Ida Chaney Alcorn, sold Bybee pottery from her home on Route 60 east of Louisville from the late 1920s through the 1950s. |
