Ceramics & Glass October 18, 2009

The ceramics and glass gallery showcases the remarkable survivors of these fragile art forms. Examples from Winterthur's extensive holdings of American glass and English, Chinese, French and American ceramics are used to explore themes relating to production techniques, trade and changes in consumers' tastes. Visitors can study the products of early American glassmakers, learn how to distinguish between earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, and set a fashionable tea table. During the year, displays change to focus on new themes.
