Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"It is rare to find a book on art that presents complex aesthetic principles in clear readable form. Ceramics , by Philip Rawson, is such a book. I discovered it ten years ago, and today my well-worn copy has scarcely a page on which some statement is not underlined and starred."--Wayne Higby, from the Foreword
Reprint. Originally published: London ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1971. (The Appreciation of the arts ; 6).
