Art Deco and Modernist Ceramics

The first book to focus specifically on the 1920s and 1930s eclectically profuse ceramics, it gives clear explanations of the confusingly varied usage of terms such as Art Deco, Modernism, Art Moderne and Streamline Style. Illustrating the extraordinary range of color, texture and form, over 200 color photographs provide a stunning visual reference of objects both useful and decorative, chosen for their visual power, their historical significance, or their appeal to 1990s collectors and practitioners.
