Tin Glazed Earthenware Faience Delftware Majolica Pottery / Scarce In-Depth Book

Description

This early out-of-print book provides an in-depth pictorial survey of
TIN-GLAZED EARTHENWARE FROM MAIOLICA, FAIENCE AND DELFTWARE TO THE CONTEMPORARY
by Daphne Carnegy, Chilton Book Co., PA, 1993.
”For almost three centuries tin-glazed earthenware dominated the European pottery market.  Known variously as maiolica, faience and delftware, it lent itself to the expression of a succession of tastes and fashions that swept the Western world and that were manifest in every area of the applied and fine arts.”
Superb color and black-and-white photographs, identifying captions, and an extremely rich narrative combine to make this text an invaluable reference.  This book “has been designed as an introduction and practical hand book to the subject.  It is also intended as an inspiration for other potters and a source of delight for all those interested in ceramics.”  In addition to reviewing the history, makers, and types of majolica, this book also reviews the techniques and processes of manufacture.   This is a must-buy book for the serious collector, dealer, or historian of antique pottery.
8.8” x 11.1” hardback with dust cover in very good condition.  176 pages.
