Objects Up Close Virtual Lecture: A Kick in the Flask
A Kick in the Flask: Saving and 18th-Century Ceramic from a Salty Fate
An American earthenware flask, inscribed with a humorous epithet, suffered from a proliferation of salts that damaged the vessel’s glaze. Hear about lab experiments, historical research, and scientific analysis that led to a treatment plan to restore it. The talk is presented by Leah Palmer, NEH Graduate Fellow at Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, class of 2026. Registration required. Free.
Join us for additional Objects Up Close programs on November 5 and November 12.
