Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The ceramics of Mexico embody the diversity and cultural wealth of the country itself. The production of pottery is one of the oldest Mexican crafts. There is not a state in Mexico that does not produce some sort of ceramic ware, whether it be for purposes decorative, functional, religious, or playful. This book displays Mexican ceramics of the twentieth century. It is organized by geographic area, focusing on the eight states with the most important potteries. Within these states, the pieces are further divided by village or town, style, family, and individual artisan. Based upon an exhibition of over 1,200 pieces at the California Heritage Museum in Santa Monica, California, each colour picture is accompanied by a detailed description of the pieces, including, when possible, the artist, style, place of origin, date of production, and size of the piece. This book will be a useful resource for the collector, the traveler, the artist, and everyone who wants to explore a wonderful aspect of Mexican culture.

As a long time collector and appreciate of my time spent in Mexico, this book provides any excellent representation of folk art, past and present. Lastima, that they are not more widely appreciated outside of Mexico. This well photographed catalogue opens an opportunity to explore the beauties of Mexican culture. Highly recmmended.

I really enjoyed this book on Mexican Pottery. I really think that the layout of this book was perfect, and all the captions for the pictures were very insightful. I feel that I learned a lot from this book, and i can't wait till the author creates another title, because I feel that whatever she produces will be amazingly educational to read. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the pottery, or just anyone who would like to learn a little bit.
