New Ceramic Publication: Contemporary Tableware by Linda Bloomfield

by | Jan 8, 2013 | Uncategorized

“Tableware
has occupied a special place in our kitchens and dining rooms for
thousands of years, and continues to enchant us today. Ranging from the
purely functional to the fine and delicate, the evolution of domestic
pots tells us much about our changing tastes and habits, and the wider
art and cultural movements that have influenced their decoration and
forms.”
