Pottery film screened at Museum of Ceramics
EAST LIVERPOOL -- Chagrin Falls resident Kenneth Koos came to the Museum of Ceramics on Tuesday, July 14 to show a 1929 16-mm film of the operations at the D. E. McNicol pottery. Though the pottery was founded in East Liverpool, production was moved to Clarksburg, West Virginia in 1928.
His grandfather Kenneth Koos had taken the footage and had supplied the titles on the cards for this silent film. Koos's wife Brenda, Museum of Ceramics Director Megan Coil and ten other area residents attended.
Koos is a descendant of the Burford Pottery (1881-1904) family on his mother's side. Only a single copy of the film exists. Koos has donated the three film reels, totaling roughly 38 minutes, to the Museum of Ceramics Foundation. In the coming months, the Foundation plans to have the reels digitized and available for viewing at the Museum.
