"Vintage Design Introduced in January 1966, Design 70 was based on Chateau Buffet. The "brownware" body was the same except TS&T didn't shoot for the 0% expansion rate. Also, Design 70 pieces were completely glazed whereas the brown clay in Chateau Buffet was not.
Design 70 was often made with an exterior color in either blue, green, yellow, or white and then given a decal treatment. The pattern names are usually included in the backstamp. Some pieces were left blank with a colored exterior, but no decal.
The best selling pattern on Design 70 was "Lazy Daisy." The shape was phased out in the early 1970s.70 by Taylor, Smith & Taylor...."

Astride their trusty steeds, this band of determined women ventured into the Appalachian countryside, their saddlebags heavy with stories and dreams! These pack horse librarians, delivering books in rural Kentucky in 1938, were part of a remarkable initiative born from the hardships of the Great Depression. The Pack Horse Library Project, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program, employed these intrepid "book women" or "book ladies" to bring literature and learning to the most remote parts of Appalachia. Librarians often rode 100-120 miles per week on rocky, muddy trails that were impassable by car. They endured harsh weather, from scorching summers to frigid winters, to reach their eager patrons.
To share their inspiring stories with kids, we recommend the newly released "Junia, The Book Mule of Troublesome Creek" (https://amzn.to/3Wr7oZ7) and "The Horseback Librarians" (https://www.amightygirl.com/the-horseback-librarians), both for ages 4 to 8, and "Down Cut Shin Creek: The Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky" for ages 8 and up (https://amzn.to/3N8WAtf)
For adult readers, there are also several excellent historical fiction novels about these determined librarians: "The Giver of Stars" (https://amzn.to/4a0Ym9A), "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" (https://amzn.to/47ZbdHz), and its sequel "The Book Woman's Daughter" (https://amzn.to/3RqH6Cn)
