Beautiful & Informative,
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Discovering the Secrets of Soft-Paste Porcelain at the Saint-Cloud Manufactory, (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful and most informative book detailing the work of Saint-Cloud, the oldest porcelain manufacturer in Europe. Saint-Cloud was the first company in Europe to be able to mimic the Oriental type of porcelain.There are 8 essays by different authors on various aspects of Saint-Cloud. These include the history of European porcelain, design influences, manufacturing techniques and the workings of the Saint-Cloud company. Over 130 pages of exquisite color photos display a comprehensive collection of Saint-Cloud production from about 1700-1760. I especially enjoyed the objects with molded & hand-applied decoration & the colorful figurines. Captions give basic information on the pictured items but the following section presents a very detailed analysis of each piece. This is a fascinating book to browse and a great resource for the scholar or collector. |
