Description
Written as a personal memoir of her lifelong love of majolica, a well-known collector presents her museum quality pieces in a way never before seen. The author shares her unique insight into 19th Century English, French and Continental majolica potters and the stories behind their creations. She suggests that these sculptors drew their inspiration from the past by studying historical works of art, incorporating those historic themes into their pottery creations. It's fascinating to see her exceptional collection displayed against a background of Old Master and 19th Century paintings, chromolithographs, engravings, etchings, watercolors and illustrations.
