Thank You Grove Park,

At the Arts & Crafts Conference, you can attend
conference presentations about the American
and European Arts & Crafts and Mission Movement.

Dealers offer fine period antiques, and
noted living artists make available
their works in a sympathetic vein.

In 2007 Paul J. Katrich also gave a
presentation and group discussion,
"Green, Red and Gold: Innovative
Pottery Glazes of the Arts & Crafts Era."

The discussion took place at
4:30 P.M., Saturday, February 17, 2007,
in the Vanderbilt wing of the Grove Park Inn.

Attendees were encouraged to bring examples of
pottery from their collection or purchases
for comment and analysis.

Internet Archive and History

We have kept this Internet archive since
the earliest existence of the vessels.
Believing Katrich Pottery to have permanent
value and historical resonance, we have
expended substantial resources, both material
and intellectual, to maintain this record.
In so much as possible, it is absolutely complete.

This documentation virtually assures the
authenticity and integrity of all Katrich vessels,
however far they may travel. Our collectors will
always enjoy total access to the true story of
their cherished pottery.

To our knowledge, no other studio pottery,
vintage or modern, can claim so sober and
comprehensive an account of unique work.
In the realm of ceramics, nothing comparable
has been attempted or so long preserved.

We welcome visitation from collectors, students,
scholars and pottery enthusiasts of every stripe.
Katrich Studios, Inc., is the ultimate authority
for the works of Paul J. Katrich.
We hope that you enjoy our efforts.

Fine Art Pottery

The pottery consists of fine,
hand-thrown ceramic vessels,
fired with rare colors and treatments,
including in-glaze iridescent lusters.

Each piece is utterly unique
in design and execution:
no repetition is possible.

Flawed or inferior examples are
destroyed: no second-quality Katrich
pottery is ever permitted to enter
the marketplace.

An artist-signed and sealed
"Certificate of Authenticity",
with the work's # and image,
accompanies each vessel.

The Pottery Marks
of Paul J. Katrich

From 1997-2005
his Registered Trademark

onto the bottom
of the vessels.




Beginning in 2006
his Registered Service Mark
(a Grecian Sphinx with
"Katrich" added below)
has been glazed and fired
onto the bottom
of the vessels.

A Grecian Sphinx

The Katrich Trademark

A Personal Description by the Artist

"A Grecian Sphinx appears on all authentic ceramic works of Paul J. Katrich. The Sphinx is a symbol shrouded in myth and antiquity; revered in many cultures. "I adopted this signature to demonstrate respect for the artists of the ancient East, whose pottery is a constant source of wonder. For me, the Sphinx is a guardian of arcane knowledge and many mysteries. "By tradition, the vessel held in her paws denotes life and special insight. "She has faithfully served Katrich Studios, as a companion and good-luck token, for many years. May she do as much for the possessor." Paul J. Katrich
