Bij de expositie “Hier wordt gewerkt” in het Nederlandse tegelmuseum (die loopt tot medio april 2025) is dit boek interessant :

Jan Pluis, Beroepen op tegels 1620 - 2000

Deze publicatie behandelt tegels en tegeltableaus waarop beroepen en ambachten zijn afgebeeld. Het accent ligt op tegels uit Friesland en Utrecht uit de negentiende en twintigste eeuw.

De bloeitijd van tegels met beroependecors valt in de zeventiende eeuw, en wel in de periode 1620 tot 1680. Pas in de negentiende eeuw worden er, als gevolg van de belangstelling voor de kunst en cultuur van de zeventiende eeuw, weer tegelseries met beroepen gemaakt. Jan Pluis geeft in deze publicatie per fabriek een overzicht van de series. De vele afbeeldingen omvatten, naast de beroepentegels zelf, ook bewaard gebleven sponsen en beeldmateriaal dat als voorbeeld voor de beroependecors kan hebben gediend.  Paperback, 2023, 156 blz., ca. 700 illustraties in kleur

ISBN 978-90-5997-390-9. Prijs € 24,50, verkrijgbaar o.a. in de winkel van ons museum.

 

Voor de nieuwe expositie in het tegelmuseum met de titel  “Engelachtig”, met Cupido’s en aanverwante figuren, biedt dit boek veel informatie :

Jan Puis en Reinhard Stupperich Mythologische voorstellingen op Nederlandse tegels

Metamorphosen van Ovidius. Herders, cupido's en zeewezens.

De invloed van Ovidius’ Metamorphosen reikt verder dan de literatuur. Figuren uit zijn verhaal zijn terug te vinden in allerlei vormen van toegepaste kunst, ook in de decoratie van de Nederlandse wandtegel.

In diverse hoofdstukken beschrijven Pluis en Stupperich de afzonderlijke voorstellingen en wordt de lezer geholpen deze te herkennen en te duiden. Diverse mythologische thema’s komen aan bod, zoals cupido’s, zeewezens en arcadische taferelen.

De auteurs hebben ernaar gestreefd bij iedere voorstelling ook de grafische bronnen af te beelden of te vermelden.

Hardcover, 2011, 288 blz., 800 ill. in kleur

Azulejos: The Pearls of Portugal  

The book accompanies the exhibition Azulejos: The Pearls of Portugal at the Adamson-Eric Museum in Talinn, Estonia (04.04.–07.09.2025).

This book introduces the rich history and artistic diversity of the Portuguese ceramic tiles called azulejos. Although Portugal is known for its cities covered with azulejos, this phenomenon did not occur overnight. Azulejos have been applied throughout the last five hundred years on the walls of different types of buildings: palaces and religious houses initially, and later on the façades of residential buildings and in public spaces, such as markets, train and underground stations, gardens and parks, viaducts and airports. Nowadays azulejos are everywhere, and a new generation of artists, architects and designers are committed to renewing this art form. The colourful and detailed tiles tell an engaging story of history, religion, and people’s everyday life, taking the viewer on an exciting journey to different eras.

Jan Pluis, Vogels op Tegels en tegeltableaus, 1900 – 2000

Zo lang er in Nederland tegels zijn vervaardigd, behoren vogels tot het repertoire van de tegelschilder. Vogeltegels, met name die uit de zeventiende eeuw, vormen geliefde verzamelobjecten. In de achttiende eeuw werden maar weinig vogeltegels geproduceerd, maar met de negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor alles wat Oudhollands was, kwamen de zeventiende-eeuwse vogeldecors opnieuw in productie. In deze publicatie wordt vooral aandacht besteed aan vogeltegels uit de twintigste eeuw uit Makkum, Harlingen en Utrecht. De series konden worden gereconstrueerd dankzij bewaard gebleven sponsen. 96 pagina’s. Uitgever Primavera Pers. ISBN : 9789059973787.

Zie ook recensie van de vogelbescherming: https://www.vogelbescherming.nl/actueel/bericht/nieuw-boek-over-vogels-op-tegels

Antoon Ott. Verzameldrift, Biografie van Nanne Ottema (1874-1955)

Nanne Ottema (1874-1955) was als bestuurder, conservator, notaris, publicist en spreker actief in het Friese culturele leven. Hij stelde een beroemde keramiekcollectie samen die resulteerde in het Keramiekmuseum Princessehof in Leeuwarden. Zijn collectie, met meer dan 5000 tegels en het door hem vergaarde vermogen liet hij na aan de door hem en zijn vrouw Grietje Kingma in 1938 opgerichte Ottema-Kingma Stichting, die zijn levenswerk voortzette. In zijn tijd was hij een vermaard, berucht en dominant persoon. In deze biografie wordt het leven van Ottema uitvoerig beschreven met veel foto’s die het verhaal ondersteunen waaronder een aantal tegels. Het geeft een mooi inkijkje in het leven van een gedreven verzamelaar. Ook veel stof tot nadenken voor de hedendaagse verzamelaar.

Jan Pluis, Vogels op Tegels en tegeltableaus, 1900 – 2000

Zo lang er in Nederland tegels zijn vervaardigd, behoren vogels tot het repertoire van de tegelschilder. Vogeltegels, met name die uit de zeventiende eeuw, vormen geliefde verzamelobjecten. In de achttiende eeuw werden maar weinig vogeltegels geproduceerd, maar met de
negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor alles wat Oudhollands was, kwamen de zeventiende-eeuwse vogeldecors opnieuw in productie.

     
In deze publicatie wordt vooral aandacht besteed aan vogeltegels uit de twintigste eeuw uit Makkum, Harlingen en Utrecht. De series konden worden gereconstrueerd dankzij bewaard gebleven sponsen. Aan de beschrijving van een aantal twintigste-eeuwse tegeltableaus met
vogels gaat een selectie vooraf van tegeltableaus uit de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw. Een aparte paragraaf is gewijd aan de kanariekooi-tableaus; tableaus met dit onderwerp grepen terug op achttiende-eeuwse voorbeelden.

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.

Het gaat over sierkeramiek en architectonisch keramiek met als benamingen: Berbas, Reflet métallique, Jacoba, porselein biscuit en sectiel.
