The Scarab Vase—Celebrating 100 Years

June 12, 2010 - August 29, 2010

The Everson is partnering with Strathmore By The Park Home Tours, Syracuse Ceramic Guild, the Arts & Crafts Society of Central New York, and Clayscapes Pottery for the Strathmore Festival, a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Adelaide Alsop Robineau’s Scarab Vase. Also known as The Apotheosis of the Toiler, the Scarab Vase was purchased by the Everson directly from the artist’s husband, Samuel Robineau, in 1930 along with 47 other porcelains including her well known Viking Vase, Poppy Vase, and Crab Vase, which are all must-sees in the Everson’s Ceramic Collection.
