The Delhom Service League was organized in 1972 following the arrival of Miss M. Mellanay Delhom and her outstanding collection of historical pottery and porcelain.
The mission of the Delhom Service League is to create and develop interest in ceramics by studying the world of potters and their cultures, from ancient China to contemporary America. Monthly programs are held on the third Tuesday of the month from September through May. Study and research classes are held on Monday mornings in the Delhom Gallery at the Mint Museum Randolph. Special events, such as the annual Potters Market Invitational is held each fall, and helps support the acquisition of ceramics and library material for The Mint Museum.
