Delano Studios (1946-1989) was a manufacturer of decorated ceramics in Setauket, NY. The Studio was founded in 1946 by Richard Delano of Setauket, nephew of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The company was in continuous operation under his ownership, as well as Ward C. Campbell, until Feb. 1989 when it was purchased by Low Country Guild and moved to Bluffton, South Carolina. East Asian manufacturing outcompeted the Studio and it subsequently closed its doors on September 23rd,1993. Mr. Lawrence Schliessmann, Jr., who began working for the company in 1980, purchased the company in Nov. 1998 “to preserve the decades of history within its archives”.

 

Mr. Delano revolutionized the ceramic industry by perfecting an already common ceramic transfer print process called “decalcomania”, by producing special lacquers and glue that inhibit “burnouts or sizzling out” in the finished product at a 97% success rate. The prints used for Delano ceramics came from a variety of sources such as Currier and Ives, Audubon, and other artists such as local resident Lawrence Smith Hudson. Mr. Delano also used original photograph made into lithographs to create many of the images.
