Product Description
This detailed and comprehensive survey charts the entire history of British studio ceramics from the emergence of modern ceramics from the Victorian factories around 1900 to the wide variety of extraordinary work being produced in the 21st century. All the best-known potters such as Leach, Hamada, Cardew, Rie and Coper, to name a few, are examined in-depth in terms of their different areas of interest and influence. An extensive appendix gives information on 200 leading makers with their identifying marks and cross-references with a list of museums where their work can be seen. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs, this is a book for the collector needing in-depth information or for those who just want an introduction to this subject.

Format:Hardcover
This is a very good book on the history of contemporary (studio) ceramics in Britain. It runs from the 1870's and the foundations of studio pottery through Leach, Hamada, Rie and Coper all the way through to the latest contemporary potters De Waal and Spira and many others. Most potters discussed have pictures of their work included and the quality of these pictures is generally very good. One final nice touch is a list of potters marks at the back. Recommended reading for any one with a passing interest in arts and crafts.
