The J. Pierpont Morgan Collection
by Linda H. Roth and Clare Le Corbeiller
PASSION & PORCELAIN
at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto
The Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art proudly presents Passion & Porcelain: Pre-Revolutionary
French Ceramics from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, an exhibition exclusively on
loan from the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. Forty priceless porcelain works
have been chosen for the exhibition from the collection. Many of the pieces can be traced back to the French royal family and
members of the court. Included are pieces made at the renowned Vincennes-Sèvres factory,
as well as the superb factories of Saint-Cloud, Chantilly and Villeroy-Mennecy.
See Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art for more details of the show.
