POTTERY IN NEW ZEALAND - COMMERCIAL AND COLLECTIBLE, Gail Lambert (NZ, First Edition, 1985)

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Anyone with an interest in pioneering skills and their development into a modern creative industry will find this book a fascinating story of endeavour. Readers with a collector's interest in early ceramics will find this an invaluable resource for identifying their finds, be they pickle jars, teapots, or ducks flying up a wall. Drawing largely on oral accounts of this time of determination, initiative and drive, the author has rescued from oblivion not only examples of most of these early wares, but also the stories of the people who shaped them.

166-page hardback in reasonable condition. Wear and repair to dust jacket. Some foxing inside.
