Description
This pot, part of a set donated to the museum by the Federal Department of Mines in the 1920s, was likely made with a clay body from Estevan, Saskatchewan. It was likely either made as a test for a ceramic artist experimenting with a local clay body, or as a part of a broader initiative to explore clay deposits in Canada, in hope of developing new industries.
