The Newark Museum (in New Jersey) is currently running an exhibition called Great Pots: Contemporary Ceramics from Function to Fantasy. The 175 studio ceramic pieces illustrate the various methods of decoration and form that potters use to give shape and meaning to their works. There are functional pots and pots created purely as art. Some pots are plain in form but fancy in decoration. Others are simply glazed but elaborately shaped. Within the simple definition of a pot, there are infinite bounds for artistic expression.
