For those of you who might belong to the Wedgwood International Seminar and couldn't go this year, or those of you just interested in what the WIS is all about, we have linked to an article in the UK Sentinel of 11 June 2009 which tells about the WIS members and their tour this year to the Potteries in UK. Pictured are active Wedgwoodians Bob Reichner from Illinois, Mike Smith from California, Ellis Rubin from PA and Anne Forschler-Tarrasch, curator at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama, all personally known to me; I hated to miss this year, but daughters graduating from Medical School just don't grow on trees, but they DO keep one in New England, not merry Olde England! Click on the title of this blog post to go right to the Sentinel article.
Also the July issue of The Magazine Antiques is out and you will see an interesting and unusual bough pot c1810 in the ad of Mr. & Mrs. Jerome Blum on page 24. This is not a common shape at all so you might wish to check it out. Those who went to the WIS meeting in Kansas City last year will want to see page 68 for an article about the Nelson-Atkins Museum there which has recently undergone some renovation.
