What is maiolica? What is stoneware? What is the difference between hard-paste and soft-paste porcelain? This book - the fourth in the popular Looking At series copublished by the Getty Museum and the British Museum - offers the answers to these and other questions concerning the techniques, processes, and materials used in the production of European ceramics. Its numerous illustrations - most of them in color - provide a rich and informative guide to the ceramist's art through the centuries.
