Artifact Overview

The Paul Revere Pottery evolved from a settlement house founded in 1899 to help women in Boston's North End immigrant community. Founders Edith Guerrier, a librarian, and Edith Brown, an artist, convinced patron Helen Osborne Storrow to fund the pottery in 1906. The venture proved successful, producing remarkable Arts and Crafts wares through the 1930s.
