"Several works exist on the output of contemporary potters, but, extraordinarily, no book currently available charts the entire history of British twentieth-century studio ceramics. This comprehensive survey traces the development of modern ceramics in Britain from its emergence from the Victorian factories around 1900 to the wide variety of extraordinary work being made in the 1980s. All the best-known potters are examined in depth in terms of their different areas of interest and influence - for example the blend of East and West which gave Bernard Leach's work such originality, the impact of the Sung influence on the pots of Pieydell-Bouverie and Vyse, the development of organic handbuilt pots by Duckworth, and Coper's influence on the students of the Royal College of Art. Many less Famous but important potters are also included, and there is an extensive appendix giving full details of over 120 potters and their marks, cross-referenced with a list of museums where their work can be seen." - dust jacket description.
