Black & White Edition. The only pottery & porcelain identification guide
written in English that explores the rich history of one of Europe's
most important ceramics producing centers, the city of Faenza. Faenza,
from which the world of art coined the term faience, was home to such
past greats as the Minardi Brothers, Pietro Melandri, Carlo Zauli and
Riccardo Gatti and is now the home of the most important ceramics art
museum in the world as well as the largest international ceramics
competition on the planet. Unlike most identification guides this book
brings the artists to life, explores their character and their world. It
goes beyond dry facts and dates and offers its readers the opportunity
to understand their collections in historical and human terms. With more
than 125 ceramics marks and almost 100 photographs covering the 19th,
20th & 21st centuries, in a format similar to our first Italian pottery
guide, the collector will find a wealth of information and a fascinating
trip through time and art.
