SUMMARY:Classically Inspired - The Black Basalt Sculpture of Wedgwood & Bently
DESCRIPTION:Volute Krater\, Wedgwood\, English\, circa 1795–1800\, stoneware (black basalt). Collection of Jeffrey S. Milkins and Steven R. Parker.\nIn 1768\, Josiah Wedgwood perfected a dark\, fine-grained stoneware that he labeled “black Basaltes\,” and his business partner\, Thomas Bentley\, and he soon realized how ideally suited this ceramic body was for sculptural works\, particularly those reflecting the neoclassical taste so prevalent in late Georgian England. This talk will demonstrate that Wedgwood and Bentley utilized many antique works of art—portrait busts of Homer\, Socrates\, and Alexander the Great; statues of Hercules and Mercury; Pompeiian wall paintings of centaurs and maenads\, to name a few—as design sources for their basalt wares. They also found ample inspiration in design antecedents “after the antique” from the 16th\, 17th\, and 18th centuries—all to satisfy the ever growing demand from their fashionable clientele. \n\nSocrates\, Wedgwood and Bently\, English\, circa 1775–80\, stoneware (black basalt). Gift of the Starr and Wolfe families\, in memory of Lydia and Bernard Starr. 2018.68.2. Collection of The Mint Museum\, Charlotte\, North Carolina.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nBrian Gallagher is the Senior Curator of Decorative Arts at The Mint Museum\, where he has been on staff since 2007. He organized the international loan exhibition\, Classic Black: The Basalt Sculpture of Wedgwood and His Contemporaries\, which was on view at the Mint from February 9\, 2020 to January 3\, 2021. He was also the principal author and editor of the exhibition’s catalogue\, published by D Giles Limited. His other recent projects include the publication\, British Ceramics 1675–1825: The Mint Museum\, which highlights over 225 examples from the Mint’s renowned British ceramics collection\, and the reinstallation of that collection in a long-term display called Portals to the Past: British Ceramics 1675–1825. Gallagher began his curatorial career at the Detroit Institute of Arts\, where he was Assistant Curator in the Department of European Art from 2000 to 2007. He has an M. Phil. and an M.A. from Bard Graduate Center\, New York\, and an M.S. in Library and Information Science from Drexel University\, Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:Clay: The Universal Artistic Medium\, The Impact Asia – the Far and Middle East – has had on world ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Face jug\, Unknown\, Chinese\, 2000-2020\, clay\, John Burrison located at Panjiayuan Flea Market\, Beijing\,  photo credit Pan Shan.\nLong before the transportation and communication resources on which we rely today\, ceramic ideas were spread far and wide. This presentation illustrates the impact Asia—the Far and Middle East—has had on world ceramics. The story begins in Tang-dynasty China when a type of white ware—an early version of porcelain–was developed\, then traded by land and sea routes to the Middle East. Islamic potters imitated it by adding tin oxide to a clear lead glaze on low-fired wares\, creating a white “canvas” for painted decoration. Moorish potters took this tin-glazed earthenware to Spain\, where it became Hispano-Moresque ware; Spanish potters brought it to Puebla\, Mexico\, creating Talavera Poblana ware; Italian potters saw the Spanish ware and began making maiolica\, then introduced it to France where it became faience; other Italian potters took the idea to the Netherlands\, where it became known as delftware; and from there potters introduced delftware to England in the 1600s. Thus\, Asian ceramic ideas migrated over many centuries and thousands of miles through trade\, movement of potters\, writing\, and simple word of mouth\, with each borrowing culture reinterpreting those ideas to create its own East-meets-West ceramic fusion. \nAbout the Speaker\nJohn A. Burrison received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Folklore and Folklife from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a Regents Professor of English and Director of the Folklore Curriculum at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He also has served as curator of the Atlanta History Museum’s Folklife Gallery and of the Folk Pottery Museum of Northeast Georgia at Sautee Nacoochee. He is a recipient of the (Georgia) Governor’s Award in the Humanities\, a Fellow of the American Folklore Society\, a Faculty Affiliate of the Atlanta Global Studies Center\, and an Adjunct Faculty member of GSU’s Heritage Preservation Master’s Program in the Department of History. \nBook publications include Brothers in Clay: The Story of Georgia Folk Pottery; From Mud to Jug: The Folk Potters and Pottery of Northeast Georgia; Storytellers: Folktales and Legends from the South; Roots of a Region: Southern Folk Culture; Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South; and most recently\, Global Clay: Themes in World Ceramic Traditions. \nLecture venues include Peking University\, Beijing\, China; Johannes Gutenberg University\, Mainz\, Germany; Transylvania University\, Braşov\, Romania; the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum\, Holywood\, Northern Ireland; The Library of Congress\, Washington\, D.C.; New Orleans Antiques Forum; Museum of International Folk Art\, Santa Fe\, New Mexico; McKissick Museum\, University of South Carolina\, Columbia; Atlanta History Center; Carlos Museum\, Emory University\, Atlanta; North Carolina Pottery Center\, Seagrove; Indiana University\, Bloomington; University of Pennsylvania\, Philadelphia; University of Louisiana\, Lafayette; University of Tennessee\, Knoxville; Miami-Dade College\, Florida; and Auburn University\, Auburn\, Alabama.

SUMMARY:Ceramics for America! British Transferware for the New American Nation
DESCRIPTION:Washbowl\, “Hadley’s Falls Hudson River” pattern from the “Picturesque Views” Series by Ralph and James Clews\, Cobridge\, Staffordshire\, England\, c. 1823\, earthenware. Richard Crouch Collection on loan to The Montpelier Foundation. Photo by Larry Bouterie.\nAs a former British colony\, the newly formed United States relied heavily on imported British goods to supply its growing consumer base. The 19th British ceramics industry was perfectly poised to meet this demand with mass-produced\, reasonably priced\, decorative transfer-printed wares. Pottery makers created patterns designed to appeal to American tastes and patriotic sentiments. This presentation will examine British transferware forms and popular decorative patterns created for and used by American consumers at many socio-economic levels\, in both home and commercial settings. \nAbout the Speaker\nLeslie Lambour Bouterie\, a native of New Orleans\, is a career educator\, history enthusiast\, independent scholar\, and self-avowed ceramics addict. Extensive travels\, which exposed her to renowned collections of china\, fueled her passion for ceramics\, especially 18th and 19th century British transferware. \nWhile residing in the Washington\, DC area\, she worked in the field of museum education and interpretation and held positions at the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Hillwood Museum and Gardens\, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Now living in Charlottesville\, VA\, she serves as the Visiting Curator of Ceramics at James Madison’s Montpelier\, assisting the Archaeology and Curatorial Departments\, and as an independent consultant to museums and historic sites. In her role as a Visiting Scholar at Colonial Williamsburg\, she examines artifacts from archaeological excavations: identifying\, researching and documenting transfer-printed ceramics. Leslie volunteers with education and public engagement programs and beekeeping efforts at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and at James Monroe’s Highland. \nShe currently serves on the boards of the American Ceramic Circle and the Transferware Collectors Club\, and is also a member of The Spode Society\, The Society for Historical Archaeology\, The National Trust for Historic Preservation\, and several museums and historic sites. She has written articles for numerous publications\, speaks regularly about British ceramics at national and international conferences\, and is an annual lecturer for public programs offered by the Archaeology Department of Montpelier.

SUMMARY:Pictures Worth a Thousand Pots: Tracing Ceramics in Art
DESCRIPTION:Image Attribution: Detail from “The Honeymoon” by John Collet\, London\, England\, ca. 1764\, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, Museum Purchase\, 1969-48\,3.\nWhether used as a symbol to measure wealth and status\, show everyday activity\, or serve as a prop in a still life\, ceramics have been featured prominently in art throughout history.
