Ceramic Aviary: A Collection of Artful Vintage Table Ornaments

On Exhibit in the Glass Display Cases, March 2-30.

“In 1971, a huge second-hand store opened 3 blocks from my house called Quality Mart. It was full of stuff from the 1940s and 1950s; among them was a very large selection of ceramic salt n’ pepper shakers. I loved them immediately–particularly, those of various types of birds–especially wood ducks. They are very colorful, small, and exhibit wonderfully droll humor–they put a grin on my face! Most were made in Japan post the Second World War. 


Since 1976 when I relocated to Athens, they have been slim pickins, to say the least. I am a thrift-store/antique mall/flea market maven. Typically, I’d find 1 or 2 pairs a year. Now, going on 50 years hence, I have almost ‘reeled in’ this ceramic salt n’ pepper collecting mania.” — the collector

Through March 26

Homesteading Women (Kennedy Museum), curated by Elizabeth Thompson, juxtaposes archival material illustrating the lives of women homesteaders of the 19th century with interviews and photographs of contemporary women homesteaders in and around Athens County. Historical women homesteaders often have been regarded as reluctant helpmeets to men, yet the records they left tell a different story, one that highlights the important role they played as well as their resourcefulness, creative problem-solving, and community-building. Contemporary women homesteaders and farmers demonstrate similar traits, skills, and values.
