Nineteenth century ceramics in Veneto and Emilia Romagna

Through an extensive and complex presentation, this book illustrates the products which the industry have mostly focused on in this century, namely the artistic, dignified and valuable ceramics made by great talented artistic personalities; the industrial, cheap and decorative ceramics; the folk pottery, which is often poor in material but joyful thanks to its polychrome motifs and combines object functions with the warm gestures of everyday life. Thus, the book also covers the main operating manufactures in the regions of Veneto and Emilia Romagna.
