The Maker:

Founded in 1984 by Artist and Potter J. Victoria Rattigan and based in Maine, Shard was originally handmade a timeless tabletop collection in stoneware with every piece being individually hand painted with their classic blue and white Coastal Village Design. In 2012, J. Victoria’s daughter, Sunshine Mechtenberg, became sole owner of the company. Sunshine expanded the product line to include hand printed kitchen towels, placemats and napkins in addition to a variety of new and fresh earthenware patterns. When Sunshine decided it was time to hand over the reins to Shard, she looked for a new owner that would carry on the quality and integrity of the coastal lifestyle brand. Anne Pecora, with her vast experience in design and expertly curated coastal design retail boutiques, was a natural fit to carry on the Shard tradition. It seems like a long way from New York City’s high-profile commercial design scene to timeless, fun & functional coastal-design-inspired tableware but Anne makes that journey seem like the most natural of events. Those who know of her work know that what hasn’t changed throughout her journey is the impeccable taste and the keen eye for design that she is noted for.
