Vintage Ceramics Magazine 1899-1919
BOX SHOWN FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY: NOT SUPPLIED
Keramic Studio was a monthly American ceramics magazine whose first number dates from May, 1899. It was founded by Adelaide Alsop Robineau with the help of her husband Samuel . Born in 1865, she was an unusual woman for her time — entrepreneur, publisher, artist, educator, and mother of three children.
The magazine focuses on the decorative design of contemporary ceramics and was indeed the first magazine in the US to focus on ceramic design and technique in this way. Many of the contributors to the early issues are women, ceramics (and decorative art in general) being one of the few areas in 1900 where women were allowed to indulge their creativity. This magazine was very influential in spreading interest in hand made ceramics and bringing the ideas and style of Art Nouveau to the US.
Included here in PDF format are 228 issues of Keramic Studio which represents a complete run of the magazine from 1899 to 1919 (excepting Volume 11 covering 1909-10 which is unfortunately missing).
