Robineau, Adelaide Alsop

    0.01 sec.
Robineau, Adelaide Alsop (1865–1929) ceramist; born in Middletown, Conn. Beginning as a china decorator, she studied painting with William Merritt Chase. Marriage to Samuel E. Robineau (1899) led to their publication of the periodical Keramik Studio and a 1901 move to Syracuse, N.Y., where they established her studio, Four Winds. In 1903 she began making fine porcelain vases in the art nouveau style, specializing in delicate carved and openwork decoration. At the 1911 Turin exposition, her 55 porcelains, notably her Scarab Vase, were declared best in the world. Her artistry and dedicated teaching drew numerous awards and honors.
