Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835-1894) has long been noted as New Hampshire's famous hostess salonière and outstanding gardener for Appledore, her home and one of America's first artist colonies. Her home on the Isle of Shoals (between the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire) gave her an artistic canvas to paint seascapes of delicate beauty. They were filled with details of seaweed, plants, and flowers. Her hand-painted china was unique in its inclusion of verses. Poetry and prose both found a home in her elegant china pieces.
The olive branch was one of her favorite designs and she used it on many dishes, planters, pots, serving pieces, and even an exquisite oil lamp. These original pieces had tremendous popular appeal for the American woman. She capitalized on the importance of a home's decorative arts. Working with the national pottery firm of Cooley's in Boston, Thaxter purchased European "blanks" (see glossary), painted them, and then sent them to Cooley's for firing.
Thaxter's china-painted pottery became so popular that she was able to support herself from her artistic endeavors. Her pieces, now more than 100 years old, have a timeless quality that looks ever fresh and inviting. Her interest in nature and her wonderful ability to design and paint leaves, flowers, and plants on china in a harmonious fashion follow in the footsteps of her pioneering predecessor, botanical artist and naturalist, In recent years, Thaxter (2002) had her first museum exhibitions.
