San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Organized by guest curator Bill Stern, California Pottery is an exhibition of commercially produced ceramic tableware and home accessories made in California during the first half of the twentieth century. These everyday objects feature both abstract designs and narrative representations of the states culture.

Drawn exclusively from California collections, the approximately 180 pieces in the exhibition are a selection from producers throughout the state.
