Description |
Nicodemus Ferro-Stone Ceramics (1941-1990) was founded by former college professor Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) in Columbus, Ohio in 1941. Most known for bird figurines, Nicodemus used local clay which was high in iron. Nicodemus Ferro-Stone Ceramics was based in Chester Nicodemus' house in Clintonville, a suburb of Columbus. There, he had two homemade kilns and a showroom. After his death in 1990, all of Nicodemus' molds were destroyed. |
