The Marks Project is an invaluable resource for museum professionals. This is especially true today: With more institutions collecting American studio and contemporary ceramics there is a need for assistance in identifying previously overlooked artists in order to better understand their work and the time in which it was made.

Become a TMP Collection Finder
TMP is launching a FINDERS program asking ceramics enthusiasts from around the USA to introduce TMP to local or regional museums with mid-century and contemporary American potters and sculptor’s works collected. Adding post 1945 regional ceramists to the record by capturing their works and marks is essential to telling the full story of American Decorative Arts.
Only FINDERS and those who support TMP’s work make it possible for TMP to keep adding marks and makers to the history of American ceramic art.
