A Big Disappointment
This book is so much less than it could have been. While a lot of the pieces are wonderful, many are uninteresting and unskillful. With 500 photos, SO MUCH has been left out, especially the work of the exceptional "functional potters" who may be ubiquitous but many of whom still produce beautiful work. The emphasis in this book is on the decorative piece that goes on a shelf. In addition facing pictures often detract from one another, another statement of poor choices.
