Art Collections: Decorative Art
Ceramics by Albert Green
The decorative arts collection contains historic and contemporary ceramics, glass and silver, both handmade and manufactured in America and Europe. Major types and styles are represented including early studio glass, children’s china and Tiffany silver. The glass collection has recently benefited by donations of studio glass works by various glass artists from the 1960s and 1970s, strengthening the museum’s stellar collection, which includes works by Dale Chihuly, Dan Dailey and Antoine Leperlier. Recent donations of ceramic pieces by master potter Albert Green have added significantly to the collection as well.
