Newcomb Pottery Photos

Newcomb Pottery was designed by the women of Newcomb College over 50 years starting in 1894. This arts program was conceived to provide women with vocational design skills. The style of Newcomb Pottery is mostly based on that of the English Arts and Crafts movement. About 70,000 distinct designs were produced, many inspired by Louisiana flora & fauna. Newcomb College is affiliated with Tulane University.
