500 Pitchers
Think you know what a pitcher looks
like? Well, picture this: a salt and soda-fired stoneware piece with
boldly sensuous lines or a slab-built "oil can," wood-fired to
mimic the appearance of rust. Never before has there been such an
extensive and remarkable collection of ceramic pitchers that simply
redefines the art. Juried by Terry Gess, this provocative color gallery
presents 500 breathtaking images that include everything from handbuilt to
wheel-thrown, practical to sculptural, round to square. A matte-black sake
pitcher whispers simplicity of form. The irresistible surface of an
Asian-inspired porcelain piece features stenciled motifs and luminous gold
luster. One pitcher's geometric lines are so dramatic that it's a
challenge to distinguish the handle from the spout. Whatever the approach,
the results are all magnificent. 420 pages / paperbackC-340-288
