Book Description
To anyone with an interest in antique pottery the name Etruscan Majolica is synonymous with quality yet few people know anything about the pottery or the company that made it. It is probably the most famous unknown pottery in the United States. This book will introduce you to Etruscan Majolica-a world where dolphins balance shells on their tails; swans swim serenely across pink, lily covered ponds; and begonia leaves come in every color of the rainbow. For "Etruscan Majolica: The Definitive Reference to the Majolica of Griffen, Smith & Company," the author spent six years traveling across the country in an effort to photograph examples of every known pattern made by the Etruscan Works of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Divided into categories based on subject this easy reference guide combines the history of the company, its founders and its catalog in a manner that will be of interest to dealers, novices and experienced collectors alike. Expanded edition includes more photos, easy to use index and updated price guide
Majolica Mania
Author: Susan WeberPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300251041
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
The first comprehensive study of the most important ceramic innovation of the 19th century Colorful, wildly imaginative, and technically innovative, majolica was functional and aesthetic ceramic ware. Its subject matter reflects a range of 19th-century preoccupations, from botany and zoology to popular humor and the macabre. Majolica Mania examines the medium’s considerable impact, from wares used in domestic settings to monumental pieces at the World’s Fairs. Essays by international experts address the extensive output of the originators and manufacturers in England—including Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones—and the migration of English craftsmen to the U.S. New research including information on important American makers in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is also featured. Fully illustrated, the book is enlivened by new photography of pieces from major museums and private collections in the U.S. and Great Britain.
