Artifact Overview
Peters and Reed pottery from Zanesville, Ohio, was known for their unique glazes and glaze treatments. This piece, from their Moss Aztec line, was made by spraying the molded designs in relief with green coloring, then wiping the top of the piece to create a "moss" effect. The natural coloring would have fit perfectly in a typical Arts and Crafts home.

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.
