Dynamic and beautiful Art Deco ceramics blazing with eye-catching, bold, and even confrontational hand-painted designs on innovative vessel forms are featured in British Art Deco Ceramics in over 400 color photographs. The works shown were produced by some of the most influential potteries in Britain during the 1920s and 1930s. You'll find spectacular dinnerwares, vases, jugs, face masks, coffee and tea sets by Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Beswick, Crown Devon, Myott, Royal Doulton, Shelley, and others. A thorough text provides brief histories of the makers, explanations of the origins and development of the Art Deco style, and valuable tips for today's enthusiastic collectors. Values for the wares displayed are given and seem pretty accurate. This reference collector book can be enjoyed by both art and ceramics enthusiasts the world over. Author Colin Mawston is a professional lawyer, Art Deco consultant, and regular exhibitor at the major European Art Deco fairs now living in Kent, England.
