Italian ceramic art: Figure design and other forms of ornamantation in XVth century Italian maiolica, with illustrations

THE present work was undertaken from the conviction that a satisfactory history of the earlier, and not the least interesting, stages of the history of Maiolica can only be arrived at when based on a full and complete illustration of its existing remains. As pointed out on a previous occasion, these remains — which include but an infinitesimal portion of the output of the XVth century — are dispersed in public and private collections, thus preventing, except to 3; very limited extent, the comparison of the actual objects. Hence the need of combining in one work illustrations of the examples in the various Museums.
