Robertson pursued his craft with fierce devotion and a passion for experimentation. From a family of trained English ceramists, he honed his skills in New Jersey before settling in Massachusetts as one of the founders of Chelsea Keramic Art Works and later, Dedham Pottery. Robertsons lifelong explorations in glazes, particularly their color and texture, make him one of the key figures of American art pottery at the turn of the twentieth century. During the 1880s Robertson increasingly turned his attention to developing new glaze formulas and clay bodies. In the middle of the decade he became obsessed with the highly coveted yet elusive sang-de-boeuf, or oxblood, glaze, a quest that became the hallmark of his later career. This richly colored blood-red glaze is traditionally created from a copper-based formula and fired in a kiln, which when wet straw and other materials are introduced, deprives the atmoVase.

Stamped with the name of its maker, Edward William Farrar, this jar is the earliest marked example of Vermont redware currently known. Although early Vermont potters favored stoneware, some continued to work in the hand-thrown redware technique through the first part of the 19th century. Descended on both sides from important ceramists, Farrar learned his craft in his fatherís Middlebury pottery. This jar is unusually monumental with exceptionally elaborate decoration the stamped bands of geometric design contrast with the curves of the green glaze swags and the ruffles around the neck. These elements, coupled with the fact that the jar is signed, may indicate that it was made as a matriculation piece to signal the end of Farrarís apprenticeship to his father..

The fine lead glass and deep Regency cutting would have created a brilliant sparkle in their candlelit dining room, in Albany, New York. The set originally included dozens of drinking glasses, for claret, ale, and champagne, as well as decanters, wine coolers, tumblers, and finger glasses, all “elegantly cut in diamonds & Rings” according to the surviving bill of sale (2008.594.54a,b).

(6.99 × 7.14 × 7.14 cm), Banko ware; glazed stoneware; ivory lid, Japan, 18th-19th century, In the 1730s, a wealthy merchant and tea practitioner named Nunami Rōzan (1718-1777), in the town of Kuwana in Ise Province, began fashioning his own stoneware tea utensils inspired by the wares he saw coming from potters in Kyoto and farther afield. He stamped each of his works with one of two seals, one that read banko, meaning 'eternal,' and another that read banko fueki, meaning 'eternal, constant.' He had no students of his own, but, several generations later, other local potters in Kuwana rediscovered Nunami Rōzans work and began creating their own pottery in his style. Their creations, like this tea caddy, came to be called 'Banko ware' after Nunamis seals.Caster. Maker: Peter Quintard, American, 1699-1762Spittoon. Austria, Vienna. Date: 1815-1825.

Maker: François Thomas Germain (French, Paris 1726-1791 Paris, master 1748). Date: 1765-66.Chocolate was introduced into France in the late seventeenth century, and it quickly became popular as a morning beverage in particular. A number of French prints from this period illustrate fashionable couples drinking chocolate, indicating that this new hot drink had gained immediate acceptance. Hot chocolate needed to be stirred in order to prevent the chocolate from settling at the bottom of the pot. Thus, most French chocolate pots were equipped with a hole in the lid, concealed by a small cover that swiveled, through which a long stick, known as a moussoir, could be inserted for stirring.This chocolate pot was produced approximately ten years after a similar coffeepot (33.165.1) by the same silversmith, François Thomas German (1726-1791).
