Luminous golden and sparkling black pottery fashioned from mica-rich clays is the subject of this first comprehensive study of micaceous pottery in New Mexico. With over 60 color photographs, All That Glitters explores an exciting comtemporary art form as it evolved from the traditional culinary ware made by Pueblo and Jicarilla Apache Indians of the Northern Rio Grande region for at least 500 years.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
With its numerous excellent photographs, focus on potters, and uncluttered referencing style, the book succeeds as a popular introduction to micaceous art pottery. For those who have more academic interests, the book lays the groundwork for further research on micaceous pottery, documenting micaceous pottery production in the 1990s, and particularly in the four appendixes that inventory museum collections and list potters, suggesting sources for future studies on what came before the 1990s emergence of micaceous art pottery. --Dennis Gilpin, New Mexico Historical Review, Vol. 75:4 (October 2000)
All That Glitters is a treasure trove for anyone who loves the culture of the Southwest and the beauty of hand-thrown clay. --Alice Auer Connor, Bloomsbury Review Vol. 20, no. 1 (January/February 2000)
Duane Anderson's well-written narrative, supplemented by magnificent color images … is an essential book for anthropologists, historians, and students of American southwest cultures. --C.C. Kolb, Choice Vol. 37, no. 3 (November 1999)
