Download or read book British Pottery: The First 3000 Years written by Alex Gibson and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2024-12-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First comprehensive account of the sequence, development and use of early prehistoric pottery in over 20 years. Pottery was at the heart of the ‘Neolithic package’ appearing in Britain with the first farmers around 4000 BC. It arrived as a mature technology and was essential to the new, largely sedentary, lifestyle and economy. It transformed storage and cooking practices, and the earliest ceramics seem to have been essential equipment in the new practice of dairying. The pottery changed over time and, as a result, ceramics have been fundamental to the construction of relative chronologies since the early days of modern archaeology. Even with the development of absolute dating techniques, the role of pottery as a dating tool has not diminished but instead has become refined and more accurate. But pottery is not just a tool to dating the past – it also represents a facet of prehistoric art and expression. Starting simply, ceramics became arguably the main medium for display with designs often of great complexity. Simple techniques, motifs and panels are combined to create highly decorated vessels often of great individuality. The use of inlays, pastes and slips added contrasting colors to these vibrant designs. By the end of the Neolithic, ceramics became one of the major grave goods of British Prehistory, acting as accompaniments to those that warranted formal burial whether by inhumation or cremation. This practice continued throughout the Early Bronze Age to the extents that, lacking contemporary domestic sites, most of the corpora of Early Bronze Age ceramics are largely sepulchral in context. As we increasingly realize that burial rituals may have been varied and complex, so the roles of these ceramics are becoming increasingly questioned. This book traces the 3000 years of ceramic use and development in Britain, charting the changing forms and decorative techniques and the differing and changing roles that pottery played within its contemporary society.

Download or read book Things of Beauty Growing written by Glenn Adamson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a century British potters have invigorated traditional ceramic forms by developing or reinventing techniques, materials, and means of display. Things of Beauty Growing explores major typologies of the vessel--such as bowl, vase, and charger--that have defined studio ceramics since the early 20th century. It places British studio pottery within the context of objects from Europe, Japan, and Korea and presents essays by an international team of scholars and experts. The book highlights the objects themselves, including new works by Adam Buick, Halima Cassell, and Nao Matsunago, featured alongside works by William Staite Murray, Lucie Rie, Edmund de Waal, and others, many published here for the first time. Rounding out the beautifully illustrated volume is an interview with renowned collector John Driscoll and approximately fifty illustrated short biographies of significant makers.

Download or read book Understanding Miniature British Pottery and Porcelain, 1730 written by Maurice Milbourn and published by Antique Collectors Club Dist. This book was released on 2007-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fashioning of small items has always held a fascination for potters and, in consequence, the field of miniature pottery and porcelain is as wide and as old as the art of potting. Since c.1730, most English manufacturers have produced miniatures of their full-sized wares, yet while countless words have been written about pottery and porcelain, mention of miniatures has been restricted to a chapter in one or two books, and a few magazine articles. Even the best books on English ceramics do scant justice to this minor but understandably popular aspect of collecting. Here, at last, is a comprehensive and definitive work on small items, too large for the 'dolls' house, mostly too small for ordinary use. These include teasets and dinner sets, children's plates, cradles, ewers and basins, jugs, mugs, jelly moulds, taper candlesticks and a few decorative items. Copiously illustrated, it is thoughtfully written by two authors who collected and researched these wares for many years and by so doing becam
