Product Description
This book traces the history of tin glazing from early Mesopotamia through the Islamic world to Spain and then on to Italy (maiolica), France (faience), the Netherlands (delftware) and England (lambethware). The author then discusses tin glazing techniques and highlights current use of the medium through the work of well-known tin glazers such as Alan Caiger-Smith, Walter Ostrom, Andrea Gill and others. She also looks at some continental factories that are still using tin glazing techniques but in innovative ways.
