New York Ceramics & Glass Fair
January 19–22, 2017; Private Preview, January 18 from 5–8:30pm
Thursday–Saturday: 11am–7pm; Sunday: 11am–4pm
Bohemian National Hall, 321 East 73rd Street, New York, N.Y.
For more information visit www.NYCeramicsAndGlass.com
For eighteen years, the New York Ceramics & Glass Fair has brought together the best in all things “fired”—glass, ceramics, pottery and enamel—as the only exposition of its kind in the country. Bottles, beakers, jewelry, jars, vases, and all manner of beautiful yet fragile art will be showcased, dating from 500 years ago in 16th-century Venice, Italy to present-day Venice, California. The star of this year’s show, however, is a small white ceramic bowl dating from about 1770, uncovered during an archaeological excavation in Philadelphia. It is the first physical proof of American-made true hard-paste porcelain ever found. Until its discovery, scholars had found documents indicating that hard-paste porcelain, known for its degree of translucency and perfected in 7th-century China, was made in America during Revolutionary times, but no objects had been found to corroborate this. Called the “Holy Grail” of American ceramics, this bowl will be exhibited for the first time at this year’s New York Ceramics & Glass Fair. The fair will take place on the fourth and fifth floors of the Bohemian National Hall. Tickets are $20 per person, and can be used for admission throughout the duration of the fair.
