Oliver WatsonCeramics From Islamic Lands (The al-Sabah Collection)

probably must have for the libraries of anyone interested in the subject. This was a gift for my wife, a curator of Asian art with a small bit of Islamic ceramics in a mostly Chinese collection---but this volume is useful for those interested in Chinese ceramics as well, and the buy -in is a bargain. Gotta love Thames and Hudson! Do they do anything badly?

Gorgeous photos and informative text. A great ceramic book

Reference books for these type of ceramics tend to be full of great pictures and little information. This one is different. At the moment I would put this top of my list for valuable information in regard to these type of ceramics. It's not a price guide and won't help you find out the value of anything you have. But if your looking to date, identify and place ceramics from this part of the world I have not seen a better book. It is a little sparse when trying to gain information for styles and designs beyond the 16th century but when almost nothing is available from which to gain this information, even a little is very welcome. Great book, great price (at the moment), if your tempted buy it.

イスラム圏のごくごく一部　網羅がせますぎる。が一般の本では見られない珍しい写真があるのは魅力。

Wonderful book with excellent illustrations . The last word on everything except Hispano-moresque pottery , for some reason .

Great item and excellent service from seller.
