Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Italophiles, majolica fans, and even design aficionados could linger over the pages of this produced-with-passion book from Minchilli and her design and photographer cohorts. For many reasons, this book excels. First, it grounds readers in Italian ceramics history beyond simple ceramics production, particularly in how the Umbrian hill town of Deruta began and continued its recorded life. Second, the author teaches about manufacturing with great visuals and few words and certainly no preaching. And from her expertise arises the third element of her book's excellence, which is her focus on a sampling of today's artisans--including Franco Mari, Antonio Margaritelli, and Francesca Niccacci--and certain workshops that fashion exquisitely different yet related majolica. Educational, inspiring, and worth more than mere coffee-table status. Barbara Jacobs
From Library Journal
These two stunning books differ in style and technique yet complement each other in beauty and execution. The first, published for the centenary of the New York State College of Ceramics in Alfred, is an exquisite and informative exhibition catalog celebrating the life and work of Charles Fergus Binns, a master potter, teacher, and founding director of the college. Introductory essays focus on Binns's career at the Royal Worcester Porcelain Works in England, the origins of the college, his successful combination of technical and artistic development, and his glazing techniques and Oriental influences. The book includes a catalogue raisonne of the exhibition. Color plates featuring 60 of the celebrated pieces serve as a visual introduction to the exhibit, while the rest of the photographs document Binns, his works, and the college. A third section of brief essays highlights the lives of 11 of Binns's most notable students, all masters in their own right. Deruta celebrates the achievements of the Umbrian hillside town celebrated since the 16th century for the colorfully glazed Italian ceramic pottery known as majolica. The book opens with a focus on the history of the town from the Middle Ages to the present, then moves on to detail the traditional production techniques and methods of decoration in use for centuries. The final section highlights the work of six family production studios in Deruta today. The book is generously illustrated with photos of these bold and vibrant works of art. Both titles are highly recommended for public and academic libraries alike.?Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ. Lib., Johnson City

History of Deruta Pottery
31. Oktober 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I puchased this book for my wife who brought home some pottery when she was in Umbria. I was hoping for a book that had a lot of pictures of the different kinds of Deruta pottery. This book was a history of the pottery from 1200-present. Although it was not what I thought, it was still very informative and enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone who wants to find out the history of this beautiful Italian pottery

This is a beautiful book! I highly recommend it to anyone enchanted by Italian majolica and interested in it's history. After I read it, I thought I'd leave it on my coffee table for easy reference...but so many people at work have asked to borrow it! Even as I rode the train to work with the book in my lap, people next to me couldn't resist staring at the pictures and commenting on its beauty.
