When I received this book, I was overall impressed with it's pictures and general info.;but when I encountered the title and nomenclature given to Mocha ware I was very disappointed. Let me reiterate.. There is NO SUCH POTTERY THAT SHOULD BE CALLED MOCHA WARE!!! Mocha is a motif ,not a ware, and it's a technicality,but if we are to educate people then museums and so called experts need to re-define Pottery types and the decorations applied to these earthenware.Unfortunately Barber didn't do justice to the labeling of pottery justice here in America, but the English do have a much better understanding of pottery as their nomenclature makes much more sense.

A very informative book, but disappointing as to the title and definitions of pottery types..

A very informative and descriptive book with lots of beautiful pictures. I highly recommend this book to anyone int interested in mocha pottery.

The only authorative book on this subject. Author presents info in interesting manner. Beautiful plates. Highly recommend to anyone interested in mochaware.
