Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, published in association with Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2012. 28cm., pbk., 60pp., 8 color figures, 38 color plates. Exhibition catalogue. Publisher's summary : Bold, bright, and functional, stoneware ceramics produced in the German-speaking centers of what is today Germany and the Low Countries were highly valued and widely traded in Europe and North America from the 16th through the 18th century. In the 1600s—the heyday of stoneware production—these handsome, practical ceramics found an enthusiastic market in colonial North America. The addition of relief decoration and a brilliant salt-glaze during the Renaissance raised the status of these wares. Later examples eschewed such narrative ornament for more abstract floral or geometric patterns, and greater competition from other centers and mediums in the 18th century led to more unusual, original forms.
