Click "udvalgte værker i galleriets butik" or go directly to:

The link above is to a machine translation (starting from the home
page,
but I think just using the original Danish url is best. There is
minimal text, and I find that the Translation Experts(TM) machine can't
invoke the pop-ups for the zoomed images (thus the original is required
as well.) Note that if you hover the mouse pointer over a menu button,
a translation shows up (not that it necessarily makes a lot of sense in
English.) Body text translations are shown directly on the page.
Bruce Martin and Estelle Martin (Kamaka Pottery) (Hastings, New
Zealand)
http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/anagama/
(Good selection of the Martins' wood-fired, ash-glazed pottery)
The site has a QuickTime(TM) video of the Kamaka Anagama, and in one
part you can see two people behind and to the sides of the kiln feeding
sticks of wood through doors that seem to open magically. I believe
there is some sort of foot-pedal system for this. The video works in
most browsers, but it freezes my Netscape 7x. Opera 7x, IE 6x, and
Netscape 4x run the video just fine. (Usually I have no problem in
Nescape 7x either, so I don't know what the problem is this time.)
(Estelle Martin died in 2001)
Panevezio Civic Art Gallery (Panevezio, Lithuania)
http://www.arspanevezys.lt/
(Lithuanian and International ceramics)
Much of the site has been translated using excellent English:
http://www.arspanevezys.lt/en/index.html
When viewing the international list of ceramists' work via the
"drop-down" menu "Ceramic Collection" (Lithuanian: "Keramikos
rinkinys"), be accurate in moving your mouse pointer down the list of
countries, then to the left for the individual ceramists. (If you are
over-hasty, the menu will close.) The site has a "virtual tour"
(available only for Windows XP and Windows 2000.) I am using the
rather venerable Windows 98 on my machine, so I can't view the video
myself, but still images are fine and can be zoomed. In my Netscape
browser, the zoomed images "pop behind" the main page. (This is not a
problem in Opera and IE.)
Seoul National University, Department of Ceramic Arts (Seoul, Korea)
http://plaza4.snut.ac.kr/~ceramic/cd/home.htm
(Online access to a CD of Korean and International ceramic works)
If you hover the mouse pointer over the row of images at the bottom of
the page, videos run in the page, and a bit of music plays.
Click on the text links to get to the sub-folders for each of:
"Traditional Ceramics", "Craft Ceramics", Industrial Ceramics",
"Ceramic Sculpture", "Environmental Ceramics", and "Pattern."
There are two (TINY!) links for each sub-category of exhibition: red
text links to art by Koreans; blue text to non-Korean ceramists.
(The pages have up to 10 zoomable thumbnails each.)
http://plaza4.snut.ac.kr/~ceramic/ens.htm
(Click first button for the school's Graduates' exhibition.)
Agency of Czech Ceramic Design (Czech Republic)
http://www.virtual-gallery.cz/
I've posted about this site before, but now you can click on "Virtual
Shop" for images of work by various Czech and some other artists.
(Enter the English site by clicking on the Union Jack flag.)

(The web page translation available is very basic. Again, Intertran
does not seem able to follow links to subdirectories, sometimes, and
certainly not to javascript pop-ups, so the original Turkish site is
necessary.)
