The Milwaukee Art Museum has transferred ownership of two 19th-century stoneware vessels inscribed with the name and poetry of David Drake, an enslaved African-American master potter, to his descendants under a long-term display agreement.
The return follows a Virginia museum's separate announcement of another Drake vessel this week.
