"This Book focuses on the art deco ceramics that were produced by the British pottery industry during the late 1920s and early '30s. It examines the background of art deco and how it developed in France during the early part of the twentieth century and explores how European designers created new shapes and patterns and how these ideas eventually made their way into British design." "An important section of the book is a comprehensive survey of many smaller factories that are not well known today. Information on the products of fifty-five of these manufacturers, many of whom are discussed for the first time in a book, provides invaluable new sources of collecting."--BOOK JACKET.
This detailed and comprehensive survey charts the entire history of British studio ceramics from the emergence of modern ceramics from the Victorian factories around 1900 to the wide variety of extraordinary work being produced today. All the best-known potters such as Leach, Hamada, Cardew, Rie, and Coper are examined in depth in terms of their different areas of interest and influence. An extensive appendix gives information on 200 leading makers with their identifying marks and cross-references with a list of museums where their work can be seen. Lavishly illustrated throughout with some 250 color photographs, this is a book for the collector needing in-depth information or for those who just want an introduction to this important and beautiful work.
Friendship Forged in Fire: British Ceramics in America by American Museum of Ceramic Art Pdf
The essays in this book look at the development of British Ceramics and their collection by American collectors. The historic 'special relationship' between Great Britain and the United States spans decades and is deeply valued on both sides of the 'pond.' Emerging from the alliances forged in the world wars in the first half of 20th century, both British and American societies have benefited from the infusion of each other's cultural contributions. Ceramics and ceramic collecting has been no different in this regard. The British ceramic art displayed in this book is largely loaned from the private collections of California connoisseurs. These treasured artifacts testify to the regard and appreciation that American collectors hold for British ceramics. This catalog accompanies the 2013 exhibition by the same name at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, CA.
Miller's Twentieth-century Ceramics by Paul Atterbury,Ellen Denker,Maureen Batkin Pdf
What makes twentieth-century ceramics so appealing? They’re readily available, generally affordable, and stylistically suited to the contemporary home. This popular guide is the first to cover a wide range of these modern-day British and North American ceramics factories in detail. It explores over 200 manufacturers, covering pre-war designers, as well as the 1950s and 1960s—and it now has even been brought right up to date with revised prices and a new chapter on recent collectables.
Although usually associated with the 1920s and the '30s, in fact the Art Deco style had begun to emerge in France prior to the advent of the First World War. But it was during the interwar years that the style, reaching full maturity, was adopted by the international elite as the perfect expression of modern opulence and elegance, and to this day Art Deco designs are redolent of the age of Jazz, cocktails, the Charleston, speakeasies, Hollywood glamour, New York skyscrapers and, above all, style. The '20s was also a period of great technological advances in engineering and transportation, and the perpetual modernity and futuristic aura of Art Deco are evocative of this too. Here, BBC Antiques Roadshow expert Eric Knowles provides a lavishly illustrated guide to this most alluring and timeless of styles.
Century Ceramics by Paul Atterbury,Ellen Denker,Maureen Batkin Pdf
Collecting 20th-century ceramics is a rapidly-expanding field, inspired both by the availability and affordability of the pieces and by the tastes of younger collectors. The growing popularity of antiques and collectibles in the USA is primarily due to the success of PBS's Antiques Roadshow. In addition the growth of the Internet has fuelled an exciting e-market led by eBay but also joined by the traditional international auction houses. Antiques and collectibles are accessible to people in the twenty-first century in a way that has not been seen before, thereby broadening the base and strengthening the market. Ceramics in particular is very much a global market, with British ceramics just as popular stateside. Over 200 factories from North America and Britain are explored - in alphabetical order for easy reference - and for each there is information on its history, innovations, styles, and designs, and a factory mark; attention is also given to key artists and designers. Price values are included. This is the first guide to cover a wide range of 20th-century British and North American ceramics factories in detail. Around 600 pieces are featured, including pre-war items - such as those by Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper - that have long been popular, the innovative trends of the 1950s and 1960s that are currently gathering a huge following, and the collectibles of the future: wares of the 1970s and 1980s. Includes familiar US names such as Russel Wright, Hall China Company, Sascha Brastoff, Stangl Pottery and many more. For each item there is a price code. Finally, there is an extensive directory of collectors' clubs, places to visit, and further reading.
Employing numerous examples of classic British design, Designing Modern Britain delves into the history of British design culture, and thereby tracks the evolution of the British national identity.
