Description: The first comprehensive study of the most important ceramic innovation of the 19th century
Review Quotes: "More than 1,000 lustrous Victorian vessels appear in Majolica Mania: Transatlantic Pottery in England and the United States, 1850-1915 . . . Dozens of scholars contributed essays about ceramics makers, from central England's venerable Wedgwood to Manhattan's forgotten James Carr. The [majolica] designs were as majestic as fountains and fireplaces covered in dragons, and as endearingly frivolous as boots for holding toothpicks and jugs portraying baseball players."--Eve Kahn, New York Times
"The two-part tome, which shows often botanically themed majolica ceramics, is sure to serve as an excellent guide for anyone looking to learn more about the medium."--Madeleine Luckel, Architectural Digest
