Dedham Rabbit

Potting Shed’s Dedham Rabbit is a folk-art dinnerware pattern inspired by historic Dedham Pottery, produced in New England from the late 1800s to early 1900s.

The pattern reflects the handmade appeal and regional charm that made Dedham ceramics collectible. The Dedham Rabbit pattern features a hand-painted rabbit in earthy colors. Its simple design and subtle brushwork enhance its folk-art character, distinguishing it from mass-produced pieces. With a centered, subtle rabbit design, Dedham Rabbit suits both display and everyday use. Its neutral look pairs well with other traditional or colonial-style dishes.

Dedham Rabbit History and  Current Status

Potting Shed introduced Dedham Rabbit as a nod to classic American pottery. The pattern draws from the original Dedham Pottery, begun in Massachusetts in the 1860s and known for its crackle glaze and animal motifs. Though modern, Dedham Rabbit honors early American ceramics and appeals to collectors of historically inspired dinnerware.

Potting Shed no longer makes Dedham Rabbit, so pieces are only available through secondary markets for collectors seeking to complete their sets. Due to its Dedham Pottery roots and rarity, Dedham Rabbit remains sought after by collectors of American folk art and colonial revival dinnerware.
