Edward Marshall Boehm and his wife Helen opened a small basement porcelain-making studio in the basement of their home in 1950. While the New Jersey couple had no training in the discipline of porcelain-making and little formal arts education, they began one of the most successful porcelain studios in the nation’s history.
Known for their lifelike attention to detail and construction of only the finest pure porcelain, Boehm sculptures are coveted by collectors all over the world.
