Candlestick, 1917-1921
01
Artifact Overview
Jugtown Pottery was founded by artists Jacques and Juliana Busbee who attempted to save local craft traditions in North Carolina. The Busbees hired local potters and made the wares available at a shop in Greenwich Village, New York. This rough, salt glaze candlestick is typical of their early pieces, appearing very much like a survivor of the 18th or 19th century.

This crouching rabbit is iconic to the wares made by the Dedham Pottery. In business from 1896 to 1943, Dedham Pottery produced high-fired stone-ware characterized by a controlled and fine crackle glaze with thick cobalt blue border designs. Influenced by Arts and Crafts styles, these popular serving pieces primarily featured rabbits, but others imagery included elephants, dolphins, polar bears, chicks, swans, turtles, and ducks.

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the 1860s and 1870s in England, then the most industrialized country in the world. Theorists and designers promoted a return to an idealized past where artists and craftsmen collaborated to create beautiful and useful objects. Many of the movement's ideas spread to the United States by 1900. Here is a representative group of objects from our collection, featuring high-end to mass-market examples.
