Many do not realize that Robert Brent was also in the clay Business back in the 70s when He was Located in Healdsburg Ca. in Sonoma county just north of Santa Rosa just off the 101

I used to drive by and pick up various clays to try out back in the day

Some where named at that time after not well known people like John Glick or Eric Norstad -it was the 70s.

I have been deep cleaning studio and this paperwork came to the top.

Check out the prices 85$ to 145$ a ton

No porcelains but two white stoneware bodies

I was newly married in the early 70's and didn't have much money so the clay prices were expensive for me.  Bagged clay was just starting to show up here and it very costly.   We bought a repo house the first year we were married and a used kiln.   Paid 10,000 for the house,  fixed it up and sold it for 30,000 three years later.   Used the kiln for 40 years,  both great purchases.  We split a meal on our first anniversary couldn't afford two.    Denice
