Carita and Stuart Kadison began collecting Wedgwood in the late 1950’s but it was not until the mid 1960’s that their collecting really developed. Their early area of focus was Wedgwood and Bentley and the other fine wares of the 18th century. They traveled extensively, searching for new pieces, and also relied on dealers such as Seal Simon, Fred Tongue, Leo Kaplan and David Newbon. As time went by they also included Wedgwood majolica as a focal point, and they amassed one of the finest collections of Wedgwood majolica in the country. Much of the collection is illustrated in Robin Reilly’s two volume Wedgwood dictionary.
