Explaining the basic process involved in making pots, and then follows the development of pottery from the time of early civilization. This is a wonderful comprehensive, yet easy to read, outline of the history of pottery. It covers the major styles of pottery from different periods, and relates them to other contemporary wares, technology and the history of the time. It also compares similar progress and styles between different cultures, and the spread of the influence of the major potters. There are very few authoritative books available on pottery. With over 300 photographs, a glossary and time chart, this is an invaluable work for anyone interested in pottery.
