Carl Steen is working on an article related to this topic, so I don't want to say too much, but think about it-- you've seen the walls of the kilns from fragments-- the potters were very much aware that ash buildup caused the bricks in their kilns to melt and deteriorate. Why is it such a leap to think someone put one and one together? Also, the French and the Germans have tunnel-styled kilns, which should not be overlooked. I hope to make it up to Williamsburg this fall, we'll have to talk more about this!Liberty Stonewarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115724725585149977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756997620503076336.post-70916833126365110272011-08-09T14:07:23.423-04:002011-08-09T14:07:23.423-04:00Is there a chance the length has any connection wi...Is there a chance the length has any connection with long Asian kilns and the possible links between Landrum and knowledge of Chinese alkaline glazes?
