While the majority of Commeraw’s work currently resides in private hands, many American museums hold Commeraw objects as important components of their ceramics collections. The below was created to serve as a master list of institutional holdings of Commeraw’s pottery, and will continue to grow. If you are a curator or otherwise affiliated with a museum that holds Commeraw’s work, please contact me if it is not listed here. I would love to add it.
Each of these institutions deserves significant credit for helping to secure Thomas Commeraw’s legacy. At times private individuals lend their Commeraw objects to specific exhibitions, and you can follow these on the Events page. (Punctuation key for maker’s marks.)
