Editorial Reviews
Review
'There is a quart of information contained in this pint-sized book, and the illustrations are a delight ... For a handy guide to the subject - and especially if you don't know your compendiario from your istoriato - I would heartily recommend this book.' Museum News

This book provides an introduction to the history of maiolica, a glossary, and a bibliography, followed by sixty-four color illustrations and accompanying text, arranged chronologically to show some of the most characteristic styles of maiolica from about 1250 to 1920.
