NEWARK— FROM the Fairmont markets to antique fairs around the country, private dealers to eBay, Charles Venable has been collecting dishes. In under a decade, Dr. Venable, the deputy director and chief curator of decorative arts at the Dallas Museum of Art, and his staff have assembled an encyclopedic collection of ceramic and glass tableware used in America over the last century.
The culmination of this collecting adventure is the exhibition ''Tabletop to TV Tray: China and Glass in America, 1880-1980,'' on view at the Newark Museum of Art. Presenting more than 500 examples of ceramics and glassware, period advertisements and archival photographs from both the Newark and Dallas permanent collections, the show traces the history of America's love affair with dishes.
