John F. Holland’s work is often overshadowed by the accomplishments of his predecessors: Gottfried Aust and Rudolph Christ. Although his management of the congregation pottery was criticized and he was accused of showing “little zeal” for the business, recent scholarship suggests a more complex story. This lecture combines historical and archaeological evidence to reexamine the legacy of John F. Holland: Salem’s third master potter.
