Paul Cushman: The Premier Albany Potter and His Stoneware

摘要

STONEWARE MADE BY Paul Cushman (1767-1832) of Albany, New York, securely dated to the first quarter of the nineteenth century, is remarkably distinctive and is eagerly sought by collectors.1 His pieces frequently display interesting or noteworthy eccentricities and have, nearly two hundred years later, transcended the merely utilitarian to assume a special place in American decorative arts (fig. 1).
