[15-0403] The Newark Museum is premiering Dallas'Gustav Stickley exhibition--the first really comprehensive exhibition on this great figure ever done (and he lived in NJ, too). Just as a tease, I am going to have two pieces of arts and crafts silver in a little museum-focus nook by the entrance to the show. I'll have our great Horace Potter box from the 1900s, and a lovely Kalo bowl from the 1910s. It'll give a silver excuse for y'all to come to Newark and see stuff. IP: Logged |

Ulysses -- I've seen the Potter box (it's great). Which Kalo bowl is it? IP: Logged |

Here's the Kalo bowl--5 1/4"H x 8 1/4"Di. It has the Chicago and NY mark in it. I bought it in 1983, because I thought it's what our founder, John Cotton Dana, and our founding trustee, Louis Bamberger, would have bought at the Kalo outlet shop in NY.  IP: Logged |

Lovely...could you post a pic of Potter, too? (And then say that three times fast!) IP: Logged |

Gee, didn't I post this? Well, here you go. It's a beauty--and on display here until January 2, 2011. The mate to it belongs to the Brooklyn Museum--originally a pendant pair...  IP: Logged |

I love the Potter box. Is it marked POTTER STUDIO? Any idea as to why the pair was separated? Fred [This message has been edited by FredZ (edited 10-08-2010).] IP: Logged |

It is marked POTTER STUDIO. The pair was split because neither museum wanted both of them, and they were relatively expensive. This was, to both curators involved, a clear example of a pair that didn't matter as a pair--and of course, both are safely in museums and thus aren't really broken up...if anyone wants both of them in a show some day...

Ulysses -- Your Potter box is a knockout. These are getting really hard to find. An H. E. Potter jeweled casket recently sold at Bonhams: Your Kalo bowl is a classic too. Kalo also made this tall bowl with U-shaped panels on the sides: IP: Logged |
