Positively Unique and Rather Extraordinary
Luster Pottery
(for Unique and Extraordinary People)



Escape at Bedtime

by Robert Louis Stevenson

[Iridescent Pottery by Paul J. Katrich (0820)] [Iridescent Pottery by Paul J. Katrich (0820)]
[Iridescent Pottery by Paul J. Katrich (0820)]
Escape at Bedtime,
Luster Vessel 820 (11")
by Paul J. Katrich, inspired by
the Robert Louis Stevenson poem.


"I have always loved the poetry of
Robert Louis Stevenson, especially
A Child's Garden of Verses.

"This vase was a component of my solo
exhibition in New York City, in 2004.
The text of Escape at Bedtime
best explains the theme."
[Description by Paul J. Katrich]

Escape at Bedtime

by Robert Louis Stevenson


The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out 
       Through the blinds and the windows and bars; 
And high overhead and all moving about, 
       There were thousands of millions of stars. 
There ne'er were such thousands of leaves on a tree, 
       Nor of people in church or the Park, 
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me, 
       And that glittered and winked in the dark. 

The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all, 
       And the star of the sailor, and Mars, 
These shown in the sky, and the pail by the wall 
       Would be half full of water and stars. 
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries, 
       And they soon had me packed into bed; 
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes, 
       And the stars going round in my head.

A Personal Note from the Artist

"In response to frequent requests, we are pleased to
make these fine art, photographic prints available to collectors.
Many of you have noted and admired examples of
these images as a component of our show displays.

"These prints are beautifully photographed and formatted by
George A. Lees. The detail photographs offer an
intimate view of my pottery and glazes, that is
most unique. They are brilliant in color,
and dramatic in concept. The prints may be framed
and displayed to great advantage, as I have seen
in the homes of many of my patrons.

"The prints are presented on fine paper with
archival pigment inks, 13 inches by 19 inches in size.
The image size is approximately 11 inches by 16 inches.

"Each print is hand-signed in the border by the artists,
ceramist Paul J. Katrich and photographer George A. Lees.

"For details on availability, options and cost,
please contact Katrich Studios by sending e-mail to:
Luster@Katrich.com,
or by phone:
248-738-7720."

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

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 contemporary pottery of Paul J. Katrich
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.

[Registered Trademark of Paul J. Katrich] The Katrich Mark

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
