Artifact Overview

Horace J. Caulkins' Detroit-based company began producing the Revelation line of china kilns in the 1890s, when a china painting craze swept the nation. Caulkins partnered with china painter Mary Chase Perry to help promote Revelation kilns, and the pair founded Detroit's renowned Pewabic Pottery in 1903. The pottery sold Revelation kilns and replacement parts well into the 20th century.
