Wonderfully focussed insight into British Art Deco Ceramics.,
By A Customer
This review is from: British Art Deco Ceramics (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This wonderfully illustrated work gives a facinating insight into the 'British' perspective of Art Deco Ceramics. Many worldwide enthusiasts will be fascinated by the depth of inventive design genius that predominated in the 1920/30s decades in ceramics in the UK. Many obviously, quite rightly, believe that France led the way in the 'Moderne' styles and they were embraced in USA for the frivolity and depiction of the 'Jazz Age'. In Colin Mawston's book we see the hard work, industry & sheer dogged determination against establishment trends by Clarice Cliff & Susie Cooper with revealing personal insights. Notable names like Shelley, Barker Brothers, Burleigh, Carlton, Chameleon, Charlotte Rhead, Copes, Crown Devon, Doulton, Keith Murray, Myott, Poole, Sadler, Tams & Wedgwood are all skilfully covered and exhibited, presented like a pictorially informative museum gallery. Great work, when's the next book, Colin?

INDISPENSABLE GUIDE TO BRITISH ART DECO,
By Schiffer Books - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: British Art Deco Ceramics (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
BRITISH ART DECO CERAMICS (with Price Guide) by Colin Mawston is a major new reference work on the Pottery produced during the 1920/30s, by British designers. Published by Schiffers in luxurious format, It is a hardback Book with 178 pages and over 400 colour photographs. The Book features the work of Clarice Cliff ( with over 150 photos), Susie Cooper, Shelley, Myott, Sadler, Crown Devon, Carlton Ware, Burleigh Ware, and many other lesser known Potteries. Included are Chapters on "The contribution of British Art Deco", "Introduction to Art Deco", and "Collecting Art Deco Ceramics". The Book will serve as an Introduction to the subject for the new collector and act as a valuable reference for the more seasoned collector. As well as a vast array of photographic examples, it covers the practical side of collecting including where to buy, how to buy and how to identify British Art Deco Ceramics. Dynamic and beautiful Art Deco ceramics blazing with eye-catching, bold--even confrontational--hand-painted designs on innovative vessel forms, produced by some of the most influential potteries in Britain during the 1920s and 1930s, are featured here in the many colour photographs. Spectacular dinnerwares, vases, jugs, face masks, coffee and tea sets appear in abundance. A thorough text provides brief histories of the makers, explanations of the origins and development of the Art Deco style, and valuable tips for today's enthusiastic collectors. Values for the wares displayed are given. This reference will be enjoyed by both art and ceramics enthusiasts the world over.
