Artifact Overview

A crouching rabbit is an iconic image found on the wares made by the Dedham Pottery. In business from 1896 to 1943, Dedham Pottery produced high-fired stoneware characterized by a controlled and fine crackle glaze with thick cobalt blue border designs. Influenced by Arts and Crafts styles, these popular serving pieces not only featured rabbits, but elephants, dolphins, polar bears, chicks, swans, turtles, and ducks.
