Majolica: A Complete History and Illustrated Survey
2002 Updated
and Enlarged
Marilyn G. Karmason
& Joan B. Stacke.
Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
|
 |
Still
the best, broadest, and most complete introduction
to the colorful, lustrously glazed, exuberantly
decorated 19th-century ceramic art called
majolica, this classic book, first published in
1989, is now fully updated. A brand-new
chapter includes the latest information and 27
added color photographs of recently discovered
pieces; 18 fresh color illustrations replace older
black and whites; and an updated bibliography and
list of museums with majolica collections make
this book invaluable for the ever-growing number
of majolica enthusiasts. The result, as Cape
Cod Antiques & Arts said of the original
edition, is "a serious reference for serious
connoisseurs . . . It's wonderful." |
