SUMMARY:Beyond Blue and White: The Hidden Women of Delftware
DESCRIPTION:March 12th\, 7:00pm – 9:00pm. LECTURE | Beyond Blue and White: The Hidden Women of Delftware \nWhen over seventy-five pieces of rare Delftware were discovered in a historic Manhattan townhouse\, decorative art expert Genevieve Wheeler Brown recognized these exquisite ceramics held secrets overlooked for centuries. Join us for an illustrated journey through the hidden history of this beloved art form and the remarkable women who shaped it. \nThrough vivid images of 17th and 18th century treasures—puzzle jugs\, flower pyramids\, Persian blue teapots\, and ornate tiles—Brown reveals the stories of female factory owners like Barbara Rotteveel\, who founded “The Three Bells” in 1671\, and royal patron Queen Mary II\, whose passion for blue and white ceramics sparked a decorative revolution. Discover how pioneering American collectors Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt II laid the groundwork for women in museums while preserving decorative arts for future generations. \nPart art history\, part detective story\, this presentation celebrates the artistry and forceful female lives behind one of the world’s most coveted ceramics. \nhttps://wdsmuseum.org/event/lecture-beyond-blue-and-white-the-hidden-women-of-delftware/
