Potters, brickmakers, gunsmiths, cotton and wool weavers, coopers, turners, wheelwrights, dyers, printers, and ropemakers were at work here within the next decade. A brewery turned out five thousand barrels of beer and porter in 1811, and by the next year the pork-packing business was thoroughly established. Louisville, the "Little Falls" of the West, was the entrepot of the Blue Grass region.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43.
The road all on this side of the country is very populous, and is full of potters and earth makers; that is to say, people that tempered the earth for the China ware; and, as I was going along, our Portuguese pilot, who had always something or other to say to make us merry, came sneering to me, and told me, he would shew the greatest rarity in all the country; and that I should have this to say of China, after all the ill humoured things I had said of it, that I had seen one thing which was not to be seen in all the world beside.
She will laugh, and talk and lie, and tell you everything except what you want to know. What strength is to a man, cunning is to a woman. They are the potters, we are the clay, and and and my discourse is as discursive as that of Praed's vicar, finished the doctor, with a dry chuckle.

Titipan uses many of a certain kind for her commercial basi and the potters say that they make pots somewhat different for about all the two dozen pueblos supplied by them.
"Noyes " he cried and broke off to curse feebly but volubly. Cake did not even glance in his direction. She went away out of the room, too utterly stunned with fatigue to look at the letter in her dingy hand. The next morning the lodger was dead. He was buried in the potters' field quite near his old landlady.
Arbroath's countenance was cold and hard and shiny, like porcelain, and her smile was precisely that of the immovable and ruthless-looking animal designed long ago by old-time potters and named "Cheshire." Her eyes were similar to the eyes of that malevolent china creature and when she spoke, her voice had the shrill tone which was but a few notes off the actual "me-iau" of an angry "Tom."
You, yourself, have a pretty collection of paintings but confess to me, whether, walking in your gallery at Sandham, among those clear Vandykes, or among the Paul Potters in the ante-room, you ever felt your bosom glow with an elegant delight, at all comparable to that you have it in your power to experience most evenings over a well-arranged assortment of the court cards? the pretty antic habits, like heralds in a procession the gay triumph-assuring scarlets the contrasting deadly-killing sables the 'hoary majesty of spades' Pam in all his glory!
She could see down into the Vaults on the opposite side of the street, where working men potters and colliers in their best clothes, some with high hats, were drinking, gesticulating, and laughing in a row at a long counter.
