The following is from a travel newsletter. I would assume that this exhibit
would have some ceramics. If not it would be worth it to see the eggs.

KREMLIN GOLD EXHIBIT
The Houston Museum of Natural Science has scored a coup with the
summer exhibit "Kremlin Gold: 1,000 Years of Russian Gems and Jewels."
The exhibit displays such masterpieces as Faberge Imperial Eggs; the
elaborate crown of Czar Ivan Alexivich; and other examples of rare
gems, jewelry, and art. It takes most visitors one-and-a-half to two
hours to see the entire exhibit.
The show will run through September 4. http://www.hmns.org
