The New York Ceramics Fair launches its tenth annual appearance New York’s Winter Antiques Week with a preview opening on Tuesday, Jan. 20, followed by a Jan. 21-25 run at the National Academy Museum.

The 40-exhibitor Ceramics Fair features a stalwart group of regularly returning galleries, comprising the leading porcelain, pottery, glass and export dealers in Europe and the U.S. 

The 2009 fair will offer a series of nine lectures over its four-day run presented by ceramicists, scholars and authors. The fair’s 2009 Loan Exhibit will be “A Hidden Treasure: Chinese Export Porcelain from the Reeves Collection at Washington and Lee University.” Curator of the collection, Ron Fuchs, II, will lecture on the exhibit at noon on Saturday, Jan. 24.
