American Transferware, early American architecture, and Lilacs in bloom… highlights of spring in the Connecticut River Valley. Join us for the TCC Spring Conference in Hartford, May 15-18.
The platter features a view of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Hartford by John and William Ridgway, part of their Beauties of America Series. It was the first such institution in the United States. The teapot by Ralph Stevenson and Williams shows the Connecticut State House. The building was the statehouse from 1796 until 1879, when it became the Hartford City Hall. The characteristic Connecticut River Valley scrolled pediment is on the c. 1725 Josiah Dwight House at Historic Deerfield. The house was built in Springfield, Massachusetts and moved to Deerfield to save it from demolition in 1950. We will spend one day of the conference at Historic Deerfield.
