Hellenic American Union, Athens, 1964

In March Vernadaki held her second solo exhibition at the Hellenic American Union in Athens. She showed about a hundred works: ceramic tableware and other ceramic forms with simple chasing and colours that came from the composition of the materials and the oxides involved. The objects were rather sparsely scattered, set on low plinths, in order to show off their three-dimensional characteristics, so they would not be exclusively associated with everyday tableware. This was a new departure in terms of exhibiting pottery in Greece at the time. The show received very good reviews in the national dailies and journals from art critics George Petris, Eleni Vakalo, Efi Raftopoulou (Andreadi), Diana Antonakatou, Maria Norman, Maria Kotzamani and Kostis Meranaios.
