User Rating: / 1

Porcelain normally adheres to fairly predictable forms: plates, bowls, cups and vases.  The exhibition at the Chateau de Nyon breaks with routine and propels the art  into a new dimension  that is much closer to sculpture.  The pieces which come from Europe, Asia and Africa, are on display  until October 10. For anyone interested in ceramics, the show is both delightful and spectacular.
