The Overbeck sisters (Margaret, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary Frances) were influential American potters and artists associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement. In 1911, they founded Overbeck Pottery in their home in Cambridge City, Indiana, with the goal of creating original, high-quality, hand-crafted ceramics as their primary livelihood. They gained recognition for their whimsical figurines, modeled on real-life people or “grotesquesâ€? which Mary called “humor of the kiln. â€? The sisters independently managed all aspects of their artistic venture until 1955, when the last sister passed away, leading to the closure of the pottery. Through their dedication, the Overbeck sisters achieved economic independence and earned a modest living from their art.Shipping: We are well known in the industry for the quality of our packing and shipping.
