Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Majolica pottery is characterized by an opaque tin-oxide glaze that conceals the color of the clay underneath. The Listers, experts who have studied pottery for over 30 years, here present a scholarly work tracing the evolution of this type of pottery from its origins in Spain to its colonial development in Mexico. To illustrate their findings, they draw on the majolica collection of the Museum of International Folk Art located in Santa Fe, NM. The result is both a study of this distinctive art form and a lovely display of its best examples that any art lover should enjoy underlining the pottery's significant place in the history of decorative arts. Recommended for decorative arts collections. Gayle A. Williamson, Fashion Inst. of Design & Merchandising, Los Angeles
