Lustreware exhibit at Frederick County Historical Society
The Allure of Lustreware features two century old pieces on display at the Historical Society of Frederick County through November 26. Curator Christine Stelzer notes mid class access to lustreware and Marshall Etchison’s collection enriches the show with English and British makers like Wedgewood and Staffordshire. The exhibit traces lustreware’s rise with the early 19th century middle class and explains its opalescent glazes and varied decoration from plates to bowls.

Using color to reshape rooms in interior design
Scripps Howard News Service discusses color’s roles in masking flaws and architectural gaps, creating mood, and visually expanding space. It covers techniques such as painting walls bright, using ceiling-line contrasts to mimic molding, testing colors first, and employing vertical stripes or trompe l oeil to alter perceived height and scale.
