The New York Ceramics & Glass Fair—the only fair of its kind in the United States— presents an eye-alluring assortment of exquisite treasures—spanning five centuries—from 30 international prominent galleries and artists. From the traditional to the avant-garde, here are some of the enticing highlights.

At this highly regarded dealer’s stand, two large Bristol delftware vases and covers circa 1750, are the stellar draws.

Joanna Bird Contemporary Collections, UK, (Booth No. 3)

Michael Boroniec, USA, (Booth No. 7A)

Spatial Spiral: White No. 2 by Boroniec challenges the laws of gravity with its unique tiered ascending design that, as it rises from its base, calls to mind a strand of DNA.

Martine Boston Antiques, Ireland, (Booth, No. 28)

Gina Piccirilli Hayden, USA, (Booth No. 30)

All eyes are on a Staffordshire Salt-glazed Stoneware Teapot and Cover, c.1760, with crab stock handle and spout, polychrome enamel decorated with lovers amongst the bushes. These beautiful and skillfully hand-painted scenes are light, frivolous and often humorous, as with this teapot.

Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge, USA, (Booth No. 16)

A large cream-ware sauce tureen, a wonderful survivor from the rococo period that reflects the energetic creativity and skill of the great pottery maker Neale & Co., can truly be called a tour de force.

An18th-century Delft tobacco jar with brass cover makes a large statement here.
