Review of the 2004 Ceramics Fair,
and Luster Pottery by Paul J. Katrich,
Posted in the April, 2004, Edition of
The Maine Antique Digest




The New York Ceramics Fair
by Lita Solis-Cohen

[Selected quotes - see below for complete article link]




NEW YORK CITY -- In five years the New York Ceramics Fair has become a traditional part of Americana Week in New York City. Since 2000, it has opened with a preview party the night before the Winter Antiques Show. When the American Folk Art Museum opened The American Antiques Show on the same night in 2002, some collectors rushed through one show to get to the other. To remedy that inconvenience, the Ceramics Fair opened on Tuesday January 13, this year. Everyone who read the ads carefully were pleased with the scheduling. Many arrived early and stayed and shopped.

Americans like this show because of its diversity. Robert Hunter of Yorktown, Virginia, sold a broad range of ceramics from English creamware to American salt-glazed stoneware. Teresa and William Kurau of Lampeter, Pennsylvania, jam their cases with English wares made for the American market, including historical blue Staffordshire. They have a following. The Stradlings of New York City sold a range of 18th- and 19th-century American pottery and porcelain to collectors and museums.

Despite the fact that the Museum of Arts & Design put together the loan exhibition, dealers in contemporary ceramics were disappointed with the amount of interest, with one exception. Paul Katrich of Dearborn, Michigan, who specializes in works with luster glazes in the tradition of 20th-century art pottery, brought 42 pieces to the fair and sold all but 12 of them for prices ranging from a few hundred dollars to $3000.

Dishing Up the Best:
The New York Ceramics Fair
By Laura Beach


[Selected quotes - see below for complete article link]




NEW YORK CITY -- The New York Ceramics Fair expanded its fifth annual presentation to five days, opening a day earlier than in the past with a preview on Tuesday evening, January 13, so that collectors in town for Americana Week could more easily get around to all the shows and sales.

The 41-dealer fair managed by Caskey-Lees of Topanga, Calif., in association with Sha-Dor of Silver Spring, Md., continued at the National Academy of Design through Sunday, January 18. As in past years, pottery, both English and American, was a bestseller at this scholarly specialty event designed with collectors in mind.

The opportunity to meet outstanding contemporary ceramists or view their work is one of the New York Ceramics Fair's important innovations.

Organizers illustrated the 2004 show brochure with a luster encrusted vase by the talented contemporary artist Paul J. Katrich of Dearborn, Mich.

"I am one of the last studio artists working in luster," said Katrich, who arrayed his gloriously iridescent vases on tiered shelves. The potter sold all but 12 of the 42 vessels he brought to the fair. Katrich will be the subject of a solo exhibition in New York in May.

Internet Archive and History


We have kept this Internet archive since
the earliest existence of the vessels.
Believing Katrich Pottery to have permanent
value and historical resonance, we have
expended substantial resources, both material
and intellectual, to maintain this record.
In so much as possible, it is absolutely complete.

This documentation virtually assures the
authenticity and integrity of all Katrich vessels,
however far they may travel. Our collectors will
always enjoy total access to the true story of
their cherished pottery.

To our knowledge, no other studio pottery,
vintage or modern, can claim so sober and
comprehensive an account of unique work.
In the realm of ceramics, nothing comparable
has been attempted or so long preserved.

We welcome visitation from collectors, students,
scholars and pottery enthusiasts of every stripe.
Katrich Studios, Inc., is the ultimate authority
for the works of Paul J. Katrich.
We hope that you enjoy our efforts.

Fine Art Pottery


The contemporary pottery of Paul J. Katrich
consists of fine, hand-thrown ceramic vessels,
fired with rare colors and treatments,
including in-glaze iridescent lusters.

Each piece is utterly unique
in design and execution:
no repetition is possible.

Flawed or inferior examples are
destroyed: no second-quality Katrich
pottery is ever permitted to enter
the marketplace.

A Personal Description by the Artist


"A Grecian Sphinx appears on all authentic ceramic works of Paul J. Katrich. The Sphinx is a symbol shrouded in myth and antiquity; revered in many cultures.

"I adopted this signature to demonstrate respect for the artists of the ancient East, whose pottery is a constant source of wonder. For me, the Sphinx is a guardian of arcane knowledge and many mysteries.

"By tradition, the vessel held in her paws denotes life and special insight.

"She has faithfully served Katrich Studios, as a companion and good-luck token, for many years. May she do as much for the possessor."

Paul J. Katrich
