Table of Contents
The period between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century was a dynamic, energetic era of ceramics creativity and development in Italy. Not since the Renaissance and the introduction of Majolica, by the Italians, into Europe had the potters, painters and ceramicists of Italy had such focus and impact. Yet, surprisingly little information is available to the English-speaking collector... until now.
For the very first time information on more than one hundred and twenty Italian ceramics factories, studios and artists and over 300 identified marks and signatures, becomes readily accessible to those who cannot read Italian thereby making this Identification Guide an indispensable tool for the collector.
The additional benefit of a number of articles relating specifically to the ceramics arts and its relationship to the historical, social and economic development of Italy during this tumultuous period offers the reader a perspective not often explored in other publications of this type and adds a greater sense of appreciation for the art. Collector's tools such as methods of dating Italian pottery, translations of commonly used Italian words and phrases relating to pottery and discussions on such matters as the future of collecting Italian ceramics adds to the book's usefulness and makes it much more than a mere guide to identifying Italian ceramics.
While most guides offer illustrations of magnificent ceramics pieces found only in museums, galleries and world-class private collections, From Cantagalli To Fornasetti once again takes a unique approach. With the kind permission of dozens of ebay patrons more than 45 photographs graphically illustrate the book with examples of equally magnificent yet economically obtainable Italian ceramics readily available to the collector who actually has to work for a living and doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on his or her collection.
From Cantagalli To Fornasetti is a ground breaking collector's guide that belongs in the personal library of anyone interested in collecting, ceramics, the arts, or even European history.
