Bart Verbrugge. De vernieuwende Keramiek van de Porceleyne fles , 1891 - 1914. Dit boek gaat over enkele bijzondere types keramiek die tussen 1891 en circa 1914 werden vervaardigd bij de Delftse keramiekfabriek De Porceleyne Fles, en die kunnen worden gerekend tot de meest interessante representanten van de oplevende keramiekproductie van rond 1900 in Nederland. Het gaat over sierkeramiek en architectonisch keramiek met als benamingen: Berbas, Reflet métallique, Jacoba, porselein biscuit en sectiel. De Porceleyne Fles verwierf met deze vernieuwende types keramiek een pioniersrol en wordt daarom terecht aangemerkt als de kraamkamer van een tijdperk van innovatie in de Nederlandse keramieknijverheid tussen circa 1890 en 1914. 152 pagina's.

Azulejo Flowers - From The 15th Century Up To Now
A typical coffee table book showing a lot of Spanish and Portuguese floral tiles from the 15th century to this day. A book with many illustrations and not so much text.
The tin-glazed ceramic tilework known as ‘azulejo’ has a long tradition in Portugal and Spain. Its production was also widespread in former colonies and drew upon local influences. Azulejo artists were influenced by different movements and styles, from the ‘manuelino’ (mixing elements of Gothic, Mauritanian, and Indian motifs) to modernism and later 20th-century styles. Azulejos were often used in the 16th century to decorate church interiors, especially around the altar. Throughout the history of this ceramic tradition, flowers are a prominently recurring motif. From floral Arabesque patterns to modern interpretations, this collection features an array of beautiful examples. 304 p, ills colour, 23 x 30 cm, English. Publisher Massimiliano Piretti Editore. ISBN 9788864761008. Price €95.65 See:
