Beautiful Spanish lustreware
including chargers, bowls and dishes (known as Hispano-Moresque), was
manufactured from the 16th to the 19th century and specimens were often brought
back from the Grand Tour. These can now be seen in museums and stately homes
across the land but, whilst they are highly collected, there is precious little
literature on the subject. This limited edition book, detailing the
author’s own collection built up since the early 1960s, will prove an
invaluable guide to help the expert or the inquisitive alike.
Lavishly illustrated in full colour throughout, this hard-back A3 landscape reference work gives a full description of, and information on each piece in the collection, including an insight into how they were made—a beautiful “coffee table” book that you would be proud to own and an invaluable guide to a this hitherto under-explored area of ceramics.
This book is from a very small print run (which is expensive to do) and originally retailed at £75.
