The Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY, USA has an extensive collection of
ceramics.  Their storage area is built so that visitors may see the
collection.  They may be a valuable resource to answer your questions.  I do
not have their phone number or address but they are listed in the Offical
Museum Directory.  That may be another source for musuems that have ceramic
collections.

Best of luck.
