About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1953. Second Impression. Hardcover. G (Well aged, with slight water damage at bottom of opening pages; dj flap is missing material at bottom; text and plate pages are generally good.). Orange cloth, with green title block and gilt letters on spine, green & color illus. dust jacket. xi, 49 pp. + 4 color and 96 bw plates. "Discusses and illustrates the greatly-prized faience or white tin-glazed pottery of France. In turn it passes in review the superb polychrome wares made at Nevers in the seventeenth century, the austere Rouen, the formal but delightful fantasies of Moustiers, as well as the graceful wares painted in coloured enamels made at various places during the second half ot the eighteenth century. These last are particularly associated with the famous naems of Strasbourg and Niderviller in the east, with Sceaux near Paris, and above all with several factories at Marseilles in the south. The wares belong to the most brilliant period in the history of the potter's art in France, imbued as they are with an incomparable and characteristically French inventiveness and good taste." (dj).
