See for yourself when R & Company gallery in New York opens an exhibition devoted to furniture and objects from South Africa (through April 25). Among the more eye-catching discoveries is this ornate “Kissing Kingfisher Vase” from Ardmore, an award-winning ceramics studio in the Caversham Valley that fosters creative and financial independence for local artisans.
