— An outstanding pottery exhibit debuted in March of 2019 in the visitor center at the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum in Lancaster, Penn., “Thrown, Fired and Glazed: The Redware Tradition From Pennsylvania and Beyond.” This is a two-year exhibit, made possible by a generous grant from the Richard C. Von Hess Foundation, an organization created to help fund Susanna Wright’s (1697-1784) Ferry Mansion Museum, built in Columbia, Lancaster County, Penn., in 1738, as well to further support art education and other charitable purposes.The Landis Valley Museum is one of the most unique places to visit in Lancaster County, located on 100 acres of farmland at the site of a former rural crossroads village.
Religion and spiritual beliefs also influenced production.Utilitarian red earthenware supplemented the everyday household needs of food preparation, cooking, storage and farm wares, as early as the 1600s, and was in the height of its production in Pennsylvania in the Eighteenth Century through the Industrial Revolution.
Get into the holiday spirit as you tour the decorated buildings. The museum works in partnership with the Landis Valley Associates, a registered charitable organization. But the display did not stop there, either, drawing attention to the wares that were made locally in the Lancaster area in the 1800s, in addition to whimsical figurals or end-of-the-day objects, also made in Pennsylvania, along with a late-Nineteenth Century face jug made by Carl W. Bach in Allentown, Penn. Many of the exceptional objects have never been displayed publicly and are extremely rare to see today, representing pottery manufactured in both urban industry settings and by small country potters, some of whom were farmers, supplementing their yearly income with pottery sales.The clay was typically dug in the area where the pottery operated. You've probably never seen this many exhibits of equipment from this era, most of it accumulated and preserved by the Landis brothers who left this legacy for future generations.This sprawling attraction run by the PA Historical and Museum commission is worth the time to see this well preserved step back into history. We enjoyed all of their...The smell of a wood fire burning in the hearth of the tavern kitchen added an authentic feel as if you walked the 'streets' of the village. The exhibit space ties it all in beautifully; no matter where you stand or look, you are completely surrounded in all directions with pottery representing nearly 340 years of production, dating from the Seventeenth to the Twenty-First Century.An aspect of American red earthenware that I truly enjoy is the fact that no two surviving pieces are alike; every piece of pottery tells its own unique story, from its creation to how it was used and owned through the years. You can taste the wood fire bake. The Landis brothers wanted this to be a way to preserve mementos from the cultural heritage of the area. (You can unsubscribe at any time. The museum was founded by Henry Landis (1865-1955) and George Landis (1867-1954) in 1925. This exhibit represents all of this and more, and it is certainly worth seeing for anyone interested in learning more about early domestic pottery production, the aesthetic appeal of utilitarian pottery, along with the history of the Pennsylvania Germans.There’s no need to worry if you did not view the first half of the exhibit because the entire two-part show has been published in a catalog available in the visitor’s center at the Landis Valley Museum, as well as the museum’s website: We visited the first...Great place to visit. The brothers were active collectors in a wide range of antiques, including Conestoga wagons, furniture, farm equipment, pottery and other local decorative arts, which were put on display. And the wares made in southeastern Pennsylvania are at the forefront of American red earthenware production, combining skill, color and decoration.
