Description
From marvellous contrasts in both colour and texture to pleasingly proportioned forms and elegant curves, the ceramic vessels illustrated in this stunning volume represent outstanding examples of handmade objects that transcend their intended use in everyday life. Organised into five sections that explore virtuosity, form, colour and burnishing, decoration and the effects of use, this fully and richly illustrated book celebrates the outstanding collection of African ceramics held by the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art.
