HENRIETTA BAILEY NEWCOMB COLLEGE POTTERY VASE
Est: -
Henrietta Davidson Bailey (1874 - 1950) Newcomb College Pottery Scenic Motif Vase. Transitional scenic vase with pine trees. Impressed manufacturer's mark to underside. Henrietta Bailey was one of the more prolific artists at the Newcomb Pottery, working at the school for over 30 years. Born in New Orleans on February 27, 1874, she enrolled at Newcomb College as a Normal Art student in 1901 and graduated in 1903, only to re-register as a Graduate Art student from 1903–1905. In 1905 she was awarded a prestigious scholarship to study with Arthur Wesley Dow at his summer school in Ipswich, Massachusetts, where she was able to further develop her style of Arts and Crafts decoration. Bailey is listed in the University yearbook as an independent designer from 1904 until 1909, when she was made an official Art Craftsman. As a Craftsman, she worked as a pottery decorator and as well as a printmaker, and also served as a substitute instructor for China Painting classes. In 1926 she joined the faculty as an art instructor, and she stayed until retirement in 1938. Joseph F. Meyer was the professional thrower of the pieces made at Newcomb for about thirty years (1897-1927), and his mark of a combined “JM” is on more pieces than that of any other person.
