  • Rare Pewabic Pottery Uncovered in Ann Arbor Collector's Home
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 2, 2020 DuMouchelle Art Galleries 409 East Jefferson Ave. Detroit, MI 48226 313.963.6255 www.dumoart.com RARE PEWABIC POTTERY UNCOVERED IN ANN ARBOR COLLECTOR’S HOME Pewabic and Other Art from the Robert Schweizer Collection Offered at Auction January 17th, 18th & 19th Detroit, MI January, 2020 – On January 17th, 18th and 19th, DuMouchelles will auction the second half of the Robert Schweizer collection. Mr. Schweizer is a prominent Ann Arbor collector who was also the proprietor of a legendary Detroit restaurant, Schweizer’s. The remaining items in his collection include over 60 Pewabic pottery pieces. Several of the Pewabic pieces were made by Ira and Ella Peters. Ella Peters (1901-1994) was the Bookkeeper and Assistant to Pewabic founder, Mary Chase (nee Perry) Stratton until Mrs. Stratton’s death in 1961. Mrs. Peters stayed on as an advisor until pottery operations were gifted by the son of the founder, Horace Caulkins, to Michigan State University in 1969. Joan D. Walker, President of DuMouchelle Art Galleries, said: “Mr. Schweizer, who was a personal friend of Mrs. Stratton and Mr. and Mrs. Peters, has one of the largest collections of Pewabic we’ve handled in a long time. Ella Peters was an essential part of the Pewabic operation as well as a trusted friend and confidant to Mrs. Stratton. Many believe that Ella Peters was essential in maintaining the company’s financial health after the Great Depression and, again, after Mrs. Stratton’s death. It is because of the dedication of Ella Peters, the generosity of the Caulkins family, and willingness of Michigan State University to maintain pottery operations until the Pewabic Society was formed, that the Pottery is in existence to this day.
