Models and Forms
Scope and Contents note
Models and Forms contains three dimensional objects used in the preparatory process of creating primary objects. The objects are predominantly made from modeling clay, wood, and metal. The most finished models are the four bottles made of plasticine. Following these are models for salt and pepper shakers lathed out of wood. Shapes made of various materials show the precision in designing the handles and feet for objects. Less finished are wood blocks which appear to be studies for the gauge number and shape of disks used at the beginning of the raising method. Also included are two wooden bells and metal disks which seem to have a related purpose. This subseries is arranged primarily by space necessities.
