DERBY -  Osborne Homestead Museum staff will host an in-person, outdoor presentation at 11 a.m. Sept. 25 on the very best of ceramics from Holland, China, Japan, Italy, Hungary, England, and the United States.  

Beautiful and meaningful ceramics have been created over the centuries in almost every nation of the world.  

Frances Osborne Kellogg amassed numerous delicate ceramic pieces that tell the story of their fabrication and her deep love of nature.  

She also enjoyed collecting very rare plate ware and tea sets, which will be on display in the Osborne Homestead Museum, 500 Hawthorne Ave. 

The presentation will be held under the outdoor tent near the Kellogg Environmental Center followed by a brief walk through the museum to view the ceramics on display.  

Registration is required; call 203-734-2513. 

The Osborne Homestead Museum, a facility of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s State Parks & Public Outreach Division, is open for free self-guided tours on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
