NDPCS ROAD SHOW
|
The North Dakota Pottery Collectors Society has developed a
program called the “NDPCS Pottery Road Show”. The program provides
historical and general information about the major producers of the types of
pottery made from North Dakota clay. The program includes a slide
presentation, a possible display of ND pottery types, and an identification
session. The one to three hour program format would be presented by volunteer
NDPCS members.
The NDPCS invites your organization to consider scheduling
and hosting the Pottery “Road Show” in your community. Details and
information about scheduling the event, location and facilitator will be worked
out on an individual basis. Further details may be obtained from Quent Christman,
941 Oxbow Court, Grand Forks, ND 58203, 701-775-3265.

NDPCS Pottery Road Show
at Kenmare, ND 7-10-11
Article by Arley Olson, Photos by Gail Yuly
The
NDPCS Pottery Road Show was hosted by the Lake County Historical Society
in conjunction with the Annual Pioneer Days in Kenmare, ND on Sunday,
July 10, 2011 with Bob Barr as facilitator and Gail Yuly as
photographer. 25 individuals along with several NDPCS members attended
the Road Show presentation.
Among the North Dakota pottery items brought in for
identification and evaluation were UND, Dickota, Rosemeade and Three
Tribes. Some pottery and stoneware from other states including Pine
Ridge Sioux from South Dakota was brought in.
A gentleman who was from Kenmare but now living in
Minnesota came back for the Annual Kenmare Pioneer Days and brought a
UND vase to show. White clay was used for this piece and it had a
Drip-Glaze design, green over rose. It was one of the earlier pieces
made at UND and it was marked with a blue ink stamp
(U.N.D. 1912).
The gentleman told Bob that when he moved he used the vase as a
catch-all for small hardware items.
A 6" bison figurine was one of the Rosemeade items. In
the Dickota there was a Cableware plate, small dog, two advertising
ashtrays and a ball pitcher with glasses. Among the Three Tribes
Stoneware items was a 6" pitcher and a vase both with a blue glaze.
