Ceramics and Pottery
Fulper Pottery, established in Flemington, New Jersey, in 1805, is renowned for its distinctive art pottery, particularly during the Arts and Crafts movement. Under the direction of William H. Fulper Il, the pottery experimented with unique glazes and forms, drawing inspiration from both European and Asian ceramics. Their pieces often feature flowing lines and matte or crystalline glazes, setting them apart from other American potteries of the time.
Fulper's vases, bowls, and lamps were highly sought after for their artistic merit and contribution to the American Arts and Crafts aesthetic. The company's innovative approach to design and glaze technology cemented its place in the history of American ceramics.
Today, Fulper pottery is highly collectible, with certain forms and glazes commanding significant prices at auction.

Chinese garden stools have a long history, dating back centuries, and were originally used in imperial gardens and scholar's courtyards.

Over time, these garden stools became popular in Western gardens and homes, appreciated for their exotic appeal and versatility.
