Catalinaware: Pottery and Tile from the Island of Romance See all the exhibitions.
This nonaviation exhibition was on display between February 2008 and August 2008 in the F-02 North Connector gallery, located in Terminal 3
"Catalinaware" features ceramic ware produced on California's Santa Catalina Island from 1927 to 1937. The pottery on exhibition reflects the southwestern landscape, California's Spanish Colonial history, and the vivid color palette of the art and ceramics of California's closest neighbor-Mexico. The small seaside factory introduced new forms and colors into the ceramic art tradition, and its legacy is reflected in the vivid, solid-color pottery found in today's department store showrooms and housewares catalogs.
