Charles H. Alexander

Charles H. Alexander is an antiques dealer, artist, writer, and all-around bon vivant who collects dinnerware (particularly the designs of Russel Wright, Homer Laughlin, and Hall China) and pottery (middle period Roseville; Muncie and other Indiana designs). He is working on a book about the Indiana artist Robert Lohman (1919-2001), “a classical artist in a modern world.” Charles is a moderator for Facebook groups on Art Deco, American Dinnerware, and Mid Century Modern; he has taught classes about antique china, pottery, glass, and silver at various auction houses; and he freelances for publications such as AntiqueWeek. He has exhibited and sold the works of Lohman, Ruthven Byrum, and Elmer Taflinger, and curated an Art Deco exhibit at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center in Zionsville, Indiana. He enjoys reading, watching old movies, and—while not quite a gourmand—setting a beautiful table. Charles splits his time between the Central Coast of California and Indianapolis, Indiana, where he lives in an Arts & Crafts American Foursquare home.
