Stahl’s Summer Pottery Festival

The 38th Annual Event Took Place On June 21

“The preservation society was founded 38 years ago,” stated show manager Anne Goda, when discussing the nonprofit group that runs the Stahl’s Pottery Summer Festival. Held June 21 at the historic Stahl’s pottery property in a rural area of Zionsville, Lehigh County, Pa., also referred to as Powder Valley, the educational show had 35 ceramic artisans. Set up under tents, present-day potters, vetted by the group, working in traditional and contemporary pottery styles displayed and sold their work.

Goda, aside from being the semi-annual festival’s manager and lead volunteer at the Stahl’s Pottery Preservation Society, Inc., wrote her master’s degree thesis on the history of the operation. Her husband is a great-grandson of Thomas Stahl. She led guided tours of the buildings and kiln throughout the day. The house museum was open, as was the potting shed. “This is the first show we’ve had the potting shed restored and open during the festival, which is being used as a gift shop,” said Goda. Potting demonstrations were also done during

the show hours, which ran from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Raku firing demos took place, a bake sale and large food stand was on-site, and hands-on potting opportunities were available, where children or adults could use a ca. 1930-50 potter’s wheel and turn their own small piece of pottery. Admission to the show was $5, and parking was free of charge on-site.

So, what was the Stahl Pottery? It is a two-part story which includes three generations. In the 19th century, Charles Stahl, born in 1828, apprenticed with John Krauss, a potter in Lehigh County. Charles (1st gen.) went on to open his own pottery making utilitarian pieces, such as plain pie plates, apple butter crocks, milk pans, bowls, and so forth. Nothing was ever signed. He trained three sons, James, Thomas, and Isaac. Charles died in 1896. Isaac (2nd gen.) took over ca. 1901, but the operation soon closed in large part to economic marketplace conditions through large-scale mechanized production during the Industrial Revolution. Thomas (2nd. gen.) bought the property in 1907, and in a roughly 30 year hiatus, the brothers carried on with other

New Ownership At Brownsville Antique Centre

Shop To Mark 28th Anniversary With A Sale

Lori Gavaghan recently became the owner of The Brownsville Antique Centre located at 1918 Brownsville Road, Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. In July, the group shop is marking its 28th year in business. In 2010, Gavaghan was introduced to antiques and vintage collectibles by a close friend. She fell in love with decorating with old things and the character they bring to a space. She turned her interest into a job owning a vintage shop in Newtown, Pa., from 2011 to 2020. Soon after, she became a vendor at Brownsville. That venture led her to the opportunity of owning the business.

The shop is having a sale on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 25, 26, and 27, to celebrate the new

On Sunday, July 6, at 2 p.m., Historic Rock Ford in Lancaster, Pa., will welcome Diane Windham Shaw of Lafayette College as she presents “A Sanctuary for the Rights of Mankind: Lafayette and Human Rights.” The Marquis de Lafayette is best known in America for his role in the American Revolution, from his arrival in 1777 as a 19-year-old volunteer to his pivotal contributions to the successful culmination of the Yorktown Campaign in 1781. This lecture will explore Lafayette’s less known remarkable role as an advocate for human rights on three continents. Diane Windham Shaw is special collections director emerita at Lafayette College, where she oversaw the activities of the Special Collections from 1985 to 2019 and served as college archivist

DeMille’s epic “The Ten Commandments,” Indiana Jones’

bullwhip from “The Last Crusade,” Luke Skywalker’s Red Five X-wing from “The Empire Strikes Back” and artist Bob Peak’s original key artwork for “Apocalypse Now,” to name a few.

event we’ve ever held; it’s one of the most important in entertainment auction history,” according to Joe Maddalena, Heritage’s executive vice president. “From DeMille’s camera and ‘Rosebud’ itself to Luke Skywalker’s X-wing and Indiana Jones’ whip, these aren’t just props. They’re mythic objects. They tell the story of Hollywood’s greatest moments, one piece at a time, each tied to a memory, a performance, a legend. We’re honored to bring them to the fans, collectors and institutions who will preserve them for the generations to come.”

Leading up to the auction, items will be on display for the public at Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills, Calif. Heritage is honored that the DeMille family has entrusted it with the privilege of presenting an extraordinary and historic collection, a tribute to the man who made Hollywood the capital of the motion picture industry.

Among the most prized

treasures offered in the day one DeMille session is the actual Pathé camera used to film “The Squaw Man” his 1914 directorial debut and the first feature film shot in Hollywood. From that pivotal moment forward, DeMille’s career was shaped by his innovation and his unmatched commitment to storytelling and spectacle.

Also featured is one of the most visually and symbolically powerful mementos of DeMille’s career: the red granite tablets of “The Ten Commandments,” created in connection with his epic 1956 production. Carved from granite quarried from Mount Sinai, the tablets are unique and beloved artifacts from DeMille’s personal collection and embody the spiritual gravitas and visual grandeur that DeMille brought to his biblical epics. Collectors will also discover original significant props, such as the golden calf from “The Ten Commandments,” as well as concept art, detailed costume sketches,

Screen-matched to the climactic Grail Temple sequence in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” in 1989, this 12-foot bullwhip, crafted from hand-braided kangaroo leather, is the whip seen at Harrison Ford’s side as Indy faces the final deadly trials protecting the Holy Grail.

The red granite tablets of “The Ten Commandments,” created in connection with the epic 1956 production, were

storyboards and awards from DeMille’s remarkable history of filmmaking.

“Each item in the collection is a testament not only to DeMille’s legacy but also to the story of Hollywood’s birth and rise,” said Maddalena.

“Whether you’re a seasoned collector, film historian or passionate admirer of classic cinema, you’ll find an unprecedented opportunity to connect with the very roots of film history.”

“Rosebud” is among the most potent symbols of cinematic storytelling from a film that defined the language of cinema. Orson Welles’ tale of

mogul Charles Foster Kane often tops the list of best movies of all time, and “Rosebud,” Kane’s childhood sled, is at the heart of it.

Long thought lost, this original “Rosebud” sled from “Citizen Kane” is one of only three known to survive and was miraculously saved from disposal by director Joe Dante in 1984 while filming on the former RKO studio lot. Crafted of pine and matching the detailing of the known examples, this sled is a fabled artifact from Welles’ masterpiece. Joe Dante, the director of

Printed Archives And Manuscripts Letter From Joseph Smith’s Grandmother Brings

Swann Galleries’ sale of Printed and Manuscript Americana held June 12 reached $513,452, well into the auction’s pre-sale estimates of $369,100 to $549,150. Of the 25 top lots, six sold to institutions and seven sold to private collectors, including four collectors who were new to the house. “Large family archives drove the success of our Americana auction. The top lot featured the only known letter by Mormon founder Joseph Smith’s grandmother, Lydia Mack. Bidding remained vigorous among collectors, and institutions were active. This sale also welcomed several

new collectors to the Swann rolls,” summed up Rick Stattler, director of books and manuscripts at Swann and the specialist for the sale.

A group of letters led the sale from Joseph Smith’s New Hampshire uncle. The star among the offering was the only known letter by Mormon founder Joseph Smith’s maternal grandmother, Lydia Mack, which sold to a collector for $32,500. On the discovery of the letter, Stattler shared, “It was found by our eagle-eyed cataloguers among an otherwise undistinguished collection of ca. 1800 New Hampshire family papers.” Further Mormon material included the family papers of Mormon pioneer John Silvanus Davis, which sold for $13,750.

The papers of Panama Canal engineer Harry Rousseau sold to an institution for $16,250, and the papers of his father-in-law, Herbert Squiers, a diplomat in China, brought $9,750. The letters and diary of a Northerner observing slavery in Mississippi in 1859, found among a larger collection of family papers, brought $13,000. These five lots were among the top ten lots in the auction.

Many of the books in the auction also achieved high prices. Record performances included the first European history of the American Revolution, “Geschichte der Kriege,” 1776-77, at $5,000; the Revolutionary War naval print “Memorable Engagement of the Serapis,” 1780, $6,500; and Horacio Carochi’s 1645 first edition” Arte de Lengua

“Gremlins” and “The Howling,” was not a collector but recognized the sled’s importance, and he preserved it quietly for decades, even planting it as an Easter egg in four of his own films.

There is some extraordinary original artwork in this auction, the first glimpse of posters that would become as iconic as the movies they were meant to advertise. In a landmark offering of original movie poster art, Heritage Auctions will present 12 striking large-format paintings by legendary illustrator Bob Peak. These vibrant, cinematic works, consigned by Peak’s family, showcase the bold style that revolutionized film advertising in the 20th century. At the center is Peak’s iconic mixed-media artwork for “Apocalypse Now” a haunting synthesis of Brando, Sheen and the film’s

The last two auctions were also online only, but bidders could tune in to the

fever-dream intensity.

Screen-matched to the climactic Grail Temple sequence in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” the original 12-foot bullwhip, crafted from handbraided kangaroo leather, is the very whip seen at Harrison Ford’s side as Indy faces the final deadly trials protecting the Holy Grail. Expert analysis confirms its distinctive curvature, handle shape, and leather plaiting match the whip seen as Indy kneels to save his wounded father. Presented by the film’s producers to then Prince Charles at the 1989 Royal Charity Premiere in London, and later gifted by Princess Diana, this whip is authenticated by Lucasfilm and backed by detailed analysis. With documented screen use, elite provenance, and its unforgettable appearance at the film’s emotional peak, this is one of the most important Indiana Jones artifacts ever to surface.

Artisan Residency Launches

Focus Is Reinterpreting Traditional Crafts

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced three individuals selected for a new artisan residency program that emphasizes the preservation and reinterpretation of traditional craft techniques. The artis ans are Aspen Golann, an American artist, furniture maker, and educator; Joy Harvey, a British-Italian jewelry artist; and Ibrahim Said, an Egyptian-American ceramicist. The 18-month residency program is one of several initiatives undertaken by Swiss watch manufacturer Vacheron Constantin and The Met as part of a partnership that reflects a shared dedication to preserving and celebrating the arts.

“We are thrilled to inaugurate this artisan residency program in collaboration with Vacheron Constantin. This initiative embodies our mutual commitment to artistic innovation and cultural dialogue,” s aid Max Hollein, The Met’s Marina Kellen French director and chief executive officer. “The three selected artisans, Aspen Golann, Joy Harvey, and Ibrahim Said, are remarkably skilled practitioners who breathe new life into traditional techniques. We look forward to seeing how their engagement

with both The Met and Vacheron Constantin will inspire new works that powerfully connect the past and present.”

Taking place from May 2025 to October 2026, the residency consists of three phases. In pha se one, artisans will engage with The Met collection and staff and will also travel to Geneva, Switzerland, to learn from Vacheron Constantin’s craftspeople, processes, and practices. Following this research period, artisans will transition to creating and producing an original work of art that incorporates reinterpretations of a traditional craft, with Met staff providing logistical and material support to help ensure the successful realization of each artisan’s vision. In the third and final phase, artisans share their processes through museum workshops, programs, and community events.

The three finalists for the residency were chosen by a panel of experts, including curators, art administrators, educators, artisans, craftspeople, and artists, based on the strength of their proposals, technical virtuosity, artistic merit, and innovative approach.

“At The Met, we believe deeply in the power of art to ignite curiosity and, at the same time, to redefine artistic and cultural boundaries. This residency is a testament to that belief, offering the artisans access to our collection; scholarly resources; and the expertise of Met scientists, curators, educators, and staff to inform, inspire, and support the reimagining of traditional craft knowledge and techniques for the next generations,” said Heidi Holder, the museum’s Frederick P. and Sandra P. Rose Chair of Education.

The Met and Vacheron Constantin’s partnership launched in 20 23 and emphasizes a shared dedication to mentorship, craftsmanship, and cultural legacy. The partnership supports a number of initiatives that align with the museum’s mission, including educational programs, special events, and Vacheron Constantin timepieces inspired by artworks from The Met collection.

Artisans in Residence

Aspen Golann is an artist, furniture maker, and educator specializing in woodworking and historic design practices. Her work engages with early American furniture forms and uses them to explore gender, power, labor, and craft. She is the founder of The Chairmaker’s Toolbox, a nonprofit dedicated to equity in the field of woodworking, and currently teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design. Golann’s work has been featured on NPR and PBS and in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Elle, Luxe, FineWoodworking, and American Craft. She is a 2025 United States Artists Fellow and a 2023 Maxwell/Hanrahan Award in Craft recipient.

Joy Harvey is a British-Italian jewelry artist who combines scientific insight, unrestricted material curiosity, and a deep love for traditional craftsmanship in organic forms. With a background in pure chemistry, she co-founded La Luce in 2021, an award-winning jewelry studio blending Florentine g oldsmithing, unprejudiced

use of techniques, and digital innovation. Her work explores themes of imperfection, aging, and societal perceptions of beauty, challenging conventional ideals. Each jewel is deeply personal, and in her approach, Harvey aims to bridge the gap between wearable art and high jewelry by creating profoundly me aningful pieces that can be worn every day. In 2024, La Luce became a certified B Corporation, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability. Harvey is also a founding member of Truly Precious, a nonprofit organization focused on sharing knowledge on sustainable jewelry supply chains.

Recognized for his technical ability, creativity, and innovation, ceramic artist Ibrahim Said comes from a family of potters in Fustat, an area near Cairo, Egypt, renowned for pottery production. His father became his first teacher, and the rich cultural heritage of Egypt became his second. Said’s signature work embodies a lightness and delicacy balanced by the strong lines and bold shapes that distinguished ancient Egyptian ceramics. He pushes the limits of clay, through both structural technique and surface adornment, to create pieces that celebrate his cultural heritage while advancing towards new horizons. He has participated in workshops and demonstrations throughout the Middle East. His work is included in numerous collections in the Middle East, as well as in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, National Galleries of Scotland, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Wellin Museum of Art, Colby Museum of Art, and Kalamazoo Institute of Arts.

employment and both had families with eight children. In the early 1930s, brothers Thomas and Isaac wanted to revive the operation, and this second act was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, a revival movement and reaction to mass production brought on through industrialization. From 1934 to 1956, the Stahls made redware using traditional methods with improved glaze recipes. The vast majority of decorative work was marked with the maker’s name, date, and occasionally the weather or personalized messages/sayings. Items were often decorated with a variety of techniques such as slip trailing or sgraffito incising. Customers were mailed postcards when a commissioned item was to be fired so they could visit the pottery. Kiln firings were community events, and picnics were held.

Thomas died in 1942, and the pottery closed during WWII, the years from 194247. Isaac died in 1950. Russell (3rd. gen.) was Isaac’s son and ran the pottery until 1956. Carrie (Thomas’s daughter) also worked at the pottery and was a highly skilled decorator. Russell owned the property until his death in 1986. Descendants formed the preservation society in 1987 and purchased the site at public auction. This is what meaningful grassroots preservation action looks like.

Among the important figures of the operation, Isaac Stahl, along with brother Thomas,
