Tour of private ceramic collection, by reservation only.

The Robert N. Shapiro Curator of American Decorative Art, Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA
While the Peabody Essex Museum is known for its Chinese export porcelain, the museum also stewards an important, fascinating, and lesser known collection of ceramics from England, Europe, New England, and the broader Americas. This talk will highlight the rich and varied ceramics that fall under PEM’s American Decorative Art department and explore the intersection of trade and collecting, artistry and industry, that shapes each pot and the collection as a whole.
