A vivid splash of summer fruit fills this 1994 promotional mailer from the Workshops of Gerald E. Henn — mounds of glossy strawberries, a rustic woven basket tipped on its side, and hand-thrown spongeware crocks brimming with raspberries and blueberries conjure a farmstand idyll that was actually a direct-mail sales pitch. The card was sent by Marie, a Workshops Consultant based in Silver Spring, Maryland, to Edith in Rockville, Maryland, advertising the "Berries-n-Cream" June Customer Specials: a Berry Pickin' Basket with fabric liner for $32.99 (retail $44.99) and a 1-Pint Creamer with two Butter Crocks for the same price, available in Traditional Blue, Brown, or Rose. Gerald E. Henn Workshops, founded in McConnelsville, Ohio, produced hand-decorated stoneware in the American folk-pottery tradition; the company closed in 2002, making pieces and ephemera like this an increasingly sought collectible for Henn devotees.
