This is a thrift store find from yesterday! My niece and I found this twentieth century turquoise glazed vase in Saugus, Massachusetts, a short distance from where it was originally made in Boston. The vase is marked on the base "P.R.P. 11-28," whereas it was made at the Paul Revere Pottery in Boston in 1928.
For a brief history: The Paul Revere Pottery was a woman-run American art pottery founded during the Progressive Era in Boston. It emerged as a subgroup of the Saturday Evening Girls Club (S.E.G.). The library group was started and guided by Edith Guerrier, a librarian; her partner, Edith Brown, an artist; and Helen Osborne Storrow, the financial patron of the group. The Saturday Evening Girls Club was established in 1899, and located in Boston's North End. The group aimed to serve as an intellectual and social hub for young immigrant girls that otherwise had very few economic, educational, or social opportunities due to cultural differences. Paul Revere Pottery was established in the early twentieth century. The pottery gained national and international recognition and is found in many art museums today, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.
