Edward Marshall Boehm
Edward Marshall Boehm (1913 – January 29, 1969) was the greatest American sculptor known for his porcelain figures of birds and other wildlife.
Boehm explained his choice of porcelain as the medium for his art as follows:
"Porcelain is a permanent creation. If properly processed and fired, its colors will never change; and it can be subjected to extreme temperatures without damage. It is a medium in which one can portray the everlasting beauty of form and color of wildlife and nature."

Boehm was accorded its highest honor in 1992 when a wing of the Vatican Museums in Rome was named in his memory. This was the first time in its 500-year history that one of the thirteen museums in the Vatican was named for an American, as the twelve other museums are named for popes and royal families.

According to Frank J. Cosentino:
Edward Marshall Boehm was an orphan.
After his death the company, E. M. Boehm Studios under the operation of the widow Helen Boehm ignored the copyright protection law of 1911 and continued to use the copyright (©) of Edward Marshall Boehm. The porcelain figurines were created by hired artisans. Helen Boehm hadn’t owned E. M. Boehm since 2003.
Famous Example for © Recognition:
Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), the celebrated jewelry and glass designer, was born the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. The two entities kept separate by their respective copyright.
