Robineau Pottery Marks
Like Mary Louise McLaughlin, Susan Frackleton and Maria Longworth Nichols, Adelaide Robineau started her career as a china painter. With her husband Samuel she founded Keramic Studio in as a practical magazine for china decorators but slowly shifted interest into ceramic art most notably porcelain. In she joined Taxile Doat , Frederick Rhead, Edward Lewis, William Bragdon of California Faience, Emile Diffloth, Edward Dahlquist of the Shawsheen Pottery and others at the American Women’s League at University City in St Louis Missouri, a veritable think-tank of ceramic production. Her production was small but important for carved and reticulated porcelain with complex crystalline glazes, many of which can be seen at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Adelaide Alsop Robineau was regarded as one of the most influential ceramists in the early 20th&#;century. She became interested in drawing and china painting (a then-popular hobby) as a young woman. To further her skill, she took summer courses with the painter William Merritt Chase. Later, she studied under Charles Binns, a professor at Alfred University.
&#;
Adelaide became the sole editor of Keramic Studio, a periodical she and her husband published until When the couple moved to Syracuse, New York, Adelaide opened her ceramic studio, Four Winds Pottery School, beside their new home. She taught china painting and pottery, often selling her painted china, watercolors, and ceramics.
&#;
Her most famous work, the Scarab Vase, took over one thousand hours to create. In , it was crowned the most important piece of American ceramics of the last hundred years by Art & Antiquities magazine. The Metropolitan Museum, the Everson Museum of Art, and other institutions still feature her work.
At the turn of the 20th century, Adelaide Alsop Robineau broke the norms of society by learning to throw on the potter’s wheel, a type of work normally restricted to men. Not only did she master that art but chose to work with the difficult medium of porcelain. Works from her simple Syracuse, New York, studio rivaled the excellence of Sèvres, the village in France renowned for its production of fine porcelain for French royalty. In his lecture, art historian Martin Eidelberg will discuss the career and legacy of this remarkable ceramic artist.
Aware of the latest European Art Nouveau designs, Robineau skillfully carved masterpieces that were highly praised throughout the United States and Europe. Together with her husband, Samuel E. Robineau, she published the influential design magazine Keramic Studio and was a mentor and role model to aspiring women ceramists across the country.
A prize-winning author of books and articles on the decorative arts, Dr. Eidelberg is Professor Emeritus of Art History at Rutgers University, where he taught for 38 years. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and a Ph.D. from Princeton University.

“A Robineau vase is a true work of art, unique in conception and perfect in execution, for every piece that left this studio was a labor of love.” – Ethel Brand Wise, The American Magazine of Art,
Adelaide Alsop Robineau was a pioneer in American studio ceramics and excelled as an innovator in pottery both technically and aesthetically. As a young woman of high society in the late Victorian era, she gained early accolades as a skilled watercolorist and china painter and taught for a time at St. Mary’s Hall in Minnesota. In , she married Samuel E. Robineau, a French gentleman and collector of Chinese ceramics. He was deeply intrigued by her talent and steadfastly supported and encouraged her throughout her career. The couple collaborated to produce a popular and influential monthly journal together, Keramic Studio, and went on to build a studio on their property in Syracuse, New York, which they named Four Winds. Robineau would also go on to teach for many years at Syracuse University while creating her own work and raising three children.
