Moravian potters in North Carolina during the 1700s could not misbehave on the job without their stern, German-speaking leaders transcribing detailed minutes of their meetings, discussing those who complained or disobeyed church rules. At the New York Ceramics Fair, a loan exhibit, lectures, and some exhibitors' booths present an in-depth look at Moravian pottery, such as a squirrel clutching an acorn figure offered by Diana and J. Garrison Stradling for about $35,000.
