TCC Research Grant Program

Initial Grants

The initial TCC research grants totaling $9,000 were approved by the Board in October 2008. Six applications were received, and four were funded. The four recipients are as follows:

Laura Johnson/Winterthur
Develop content for an online exhibition of Spode transferware designed to advance the education and awareness of Spode transferware and to reach a broad internet audience of collectors, researchers, students and historians of the British Pottery Industry.

Pete Christmas
Introduce some certainty in the attributions for the ambiguous marks found on filled-in transfer Chinoiserie patterns on pearlware made in the 1820's.

Wendy Erich
Research Ben Franklin's claim in correspondence to a friend in 1773 that he had invented the transferware process 20 years earlier and publish findings.

Dick Henrywood:
Develop/update and publish a comprehensive catalog of all known transfer-printed views of localities in the British Isles.

Thanks to committee members Jackie Overman, Wes Palmer, Dick Wagner, and Michael Weinburg for their substantial efforts. Each member of the committee has volunteered to continue as a Research Grant Program member next year.
