I wanted to quickly post today that I have some forthcoming research articles scheduled to be published this fall in Antiques & the Arts Weekly, Antiques & Auction News and Maine Antique Digest - although one of the stories is a subject that I have been studying for a number of years, which profiles the history of ceramic production at the New England Pottery Company in East Boston, Massachusetts.
This company existed for many decades, producing a variety of household wares, however the story largely focuses on a line of ceramics called "Rieti" that was manufactured for only a few years in the 1880s. The semi-porcelain wares made under this brand had direct ties to English ceramic production and were often hand decorated in gold designs. In fact, it is not widely recognized today that this type of production is displayed by a number of major American art museums. Furthermore, Historic New England owns the most extensive collection of wares from the New England Pottery Company in existence. This is also a business that a number of authors acknowledged for its creativity and advancement of American ceramic production in the early to mid twentieth century.
I am looking forward to seeing this article in print - so be on the lookout for it next month! I will also post information about the story on this website once it has been published.
