Ravilious & Wedgwood
My son looked at me and my accoutrements with skepticism through narrowed eyes. This would be the son with the tattoo between his shoulder blades, the hand-rolled cigarette, the assortment of earrings, and the riot of curls that-at the right length-give him a jaunty, Viva la Revolucion Che Guevara vibe. He's a hard one to impress when it comes to unorthodoxy. "Mom, you look like you're ready to break into a chemical plant." From out of the mouths of babes... As though adjusting to courtrooms, spike heels and a chainsaw after forty weren't enough... Following in the high-heeled footsteps of Mary T. Wagner's two earlier inspiring and award-winning essay collections, "Fabulous in Flats" starts ...

Portmeirion Pottery
"The introduction of Botanic Garden in 1972 was a stroke of genius. This distinctive pattern is a great British product which, after nearly thirty years, is still bought, used and loved by customers all over the world. Like the earlier Portmeiron pottery, Botanic Garden is now firmly in the collector's domain. This book will be a bible for those enthusiasts."--BOOK JACKET.
Arts and Crafts Book Covers
Before the age of the paper book jacket, publishers issued their books in cloth-covered boards, which were stamped with designs in golf leaf and color. From around 1860, artists of the Arts and Crafts movement supplied many of the best designs. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris and Walter Crane led the way, and they were followed in the 1890s by Laurence Housman, Charles Ricketts and Selwyn Image, among others. Prominent Arts and Crafts architects, such as Philip Webb and C.F.A. Voysey, also designed book covers. Malcolm Haslam explores this uncharted territory, investigating not only the designs and designers, but the publishers and binders as well. He introduces some artists, little known today, whose designs filled the bookshops and bookshelves of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, and he shows how designers in Europe and America were influenced by British book covers decorated in the Arts and Crafts style. Ninety-nine of the best covers are illustrated and described, and details are given of over fifty Arts and Crafts designers who worked in commercial book production, and their marks and monograms are shown.
The Doulton Lambeth Wares
"The Doulton Lambeth Wares by Desmond Eyles is the classic reference book on the products of Royal Doulton's famous factory in London but the original edition has been out of print for many years. It is hoped that this new edition, revised by Louise Irvine, will be even more useful for collectors of nineteenth and twentieth-century Lambeth Wares. There are now more than 700 colour plates and 150 black and white illustrations featuring designs by leading studio artists, such as Tinworth, the Barlow sisters, Marshall, Pope and Butler, as well as many examples by lesser-known assistants. All the different types of Doulton Lambeth Wares are depicted in full colour, for example Silicon, Faience, Impasto, Marqueterie, Chine and Hunting Ware, so that collectors can identify pieces when they appear on the market."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
