Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. On the 1910 census, it looks like my ggrandfather worked in the Pottery business as a slipper. Does anyone know what exactly a slipper was?

There is a step in the making of pottery that can involve putting a slip on. It is sort of like a glaze but not the same. A little research into pottery making will explain it more clearly than I can hope to! sharon Sharon Burton-Hardin Anthrobytes Consulting 909-369-8590 www.anthrobytes.com Vice-president, Programs of the Inland Empire chapter of the STC www.iestc.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Lee" <hopper1977@msn.com> To: <OHPERRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, 05 June, 2001 1:36 PM Subject: [OHPERRY] 1910 Census help | Hi, | I was wondering if someone could help me.

Just a guess, but when you pour ceramics, the liquid clay is (or at least used to be) called slip. Could be he poured the clay??
