Items related to European Ceramics (V&A decorative arts series)
This fourth volume in the "Decorative Arts" series traces the story of European ceramics from the Middle Ages to the present day, highlighting key developments, techniques, discoveries and styles. Looking at Medieval earthenware and stoneware, tin-glaze and Dutch tiles, and the invention and uses of porcelain, the author then turns to the impact of industrialization on ceramics, with its radical changes in methods of working and new techniques, such as transfer-printing. The Empire period and the Great Exhibition are shown to be a great stimulus to ceramic production, while the 20th century is characterized by the separation of the designer, manufacturer and artist, reflected in the modernism of the Bauhaus style and the influence of Art Deco.

Review:
"A delight! -Choice "This elegant, remarkable, and sumptuous book is both aesthetically rich (filled with more than 200 quality color illustrations) and an excellent scholarly narrative. Hildyard's erudite insights in the six chapters describe essentially the story and history of European ceramics from the end of the medieval period to the most recent present... For anyone who is curious or inquisitive about the changing iconographic meanings of ceramic objects and/or searches for the simple and perfect match between form, material, and function, this extraordinary book will be a delight!:"-Choice "An authoritative and comprehensive reference work for ... all who enjoy the art and craft of this remarkable medium."-Reviewer's Bookwatch
