Overview

Bernard Palissy, the Renaissance potter, created a style of ceramic art which has remained popular for nearly 400 years and which saw a considerable revival throughout Europe in the later 19th century. The coiled cipers, the slinking lizards, the scaly fish - these are the characteristic Palissy creatures set in high relief and painted as in nature. Extensively collected, Palissy ware is found in the world's great museums. This volume provides a comprehensive account of the work of Palissy's 19th-century followers in France. It aims to be regarded as a standard guide and work of reference for collectors, curators and all those concerned with ceramic art.
