NYC - January 22, 2014 - The New York Ceramics Fair celebrated its 15th anniversary last night at the Bohemian National Hall, and despite the snow the place was full of lovers of all things ceramics, glass, porcelain and pottery from the 18th-21st centuries offered by 29 American and British specialists. This beloved show is the only one of its kind in the United States and has a loyal following of collectors and interior designers.

 The New York Ceramics Fair provides a mini global history of a medium and shows how highly portable ceramic objects serve as cross-pollinators of ideas, techniques and cultures. Themes of passion, eroticism, sexuality, abundance and excess of food and wine are exemplified by the objects the dealers contributed
 to the show.

 Shaking things up a bit is Leslie Ferrin's exhibition,
 "Bacchanalistas: Passions + Pleasures," which presents ceramics by living artists whose art draws inspiration from ceramic history.
