DescriptionExcellent condition with dust jacket (covered in cellophane)

This is the first treatise by a potter on the workshop traditions, which have been handed down by Koreans and Japanese from the great dynasty of Chinese ceramics in the Sung dynasty. It is the outcome of 25 years’ work in the Far East and England, and deals with the four types of pottery, Japanese raku, English slipware, stoneware and Oriental porcelain.

The author shows us how to apply to pottery standards similar to those which hold good for other forms of art, such as music and literature. This book is primarily for the handcraftsmen and the school, with a strong interest for all lovers of pots and for those who are interested in cultural relationship of East and West.
