Two items of interest. Redart show and instant concrete houses.
May 28 through July 24, 2011
During the 18th and 19th centuries, red earthenware was omnipresent in the =
homes of southeastern Pennsylvania residents. It was supplied by both Penns=
ylvania German potters and regional craftsmen from other backgrounds. Altho=
ugh luxury items like whistles and inkstands were available, most consumers=
purchased more utilitarian forms such as dishes, cooking and dairy pans, j=
ugs, roof tiles, and flowerpots. Depending on the owner's pocketbook and pr=
eferences, these objects-whether decorated or not-were acquired for kitchen=
s, dining rooms, parlors, and gardens. Selected from Winterthur's important=
collection of American earthenware, the items featured in this display app=
eal to the eye and also help tell stories about their creators and original=
users.
