...Stoneware has been hand making and hand painting pottery for the home, garden and kitchen for 199 years.

And for the first 197 years or so they were known as "Louisville Stoneware". When did the branding change to "Stoneware", I wonder??

I wondered the same thing, Jay! It looked as if it came from a PR company, so I just assumed it was a screw-up.

Well, the url is louisvillestoneware.com but the homepage brands it simply as "Stoneware" and they use a mix of both names throughout. This sentence annoys me (for several reasons): LISA MULLINS MASTERS took over the day-to-day reigns at Stoneware in 2007 and continues to provide vision and leadership to the entire team at Louisville Stoneware."
