This review is from: Ceramic Art of the Malibu Potteries 1926-1932 (Paperback)
This book is a must have reference for all potters, interior designers, tile makers and setters, graphic artists and color lovers. Malibu Potteries is a group of people that never should have passed on by. This book covers it all with beautiful pictures of the some of their work, along with the information on how it came together. I wish....to go back in time and somehow stop the fire!

A wonderful book of color pictures of the tiles made at the Malibu Potteries. The book provides a history of the pottery, bios of many of the employees and fabulous pictures of malibu tile installtions.
I love the colorful tile designs, but there are also Aztecian terra cotta designs that are inspirational as well. It's all here.
Highly recommended for tile makers and historians.

A fabulous book for artists, history buffs, and others. Beautifully tells and illustrates the brief but engaging history of the Malibu Potteries. Along with full color examples of the designs, finished tiles and installations, the book takes the reader back to the time and place through personal stories and archival photographs. Each time I pick up this book it inspires me. Highly recommended!
