Description:
PORTUGUESE PALISSY WARE – A Survey of Cermaics from Caldas da Rainha, 1853-1920 by Marshall Katz, Hudson Hills Press, NY, 1999.
”The great French sixteenth-century potter, Bernard Palissy, created a genre of rustic ceramic ware reproducing three-dimensional still lifes of natural objects, flora and fauna of all types, including small animals, reptiles, fish, and shells rendered in high relief and natural colors. His work influenced a school of artists that flourished in the Portuguese town of Caldas da Rainha, sixty five miles north of Lisbon, operating in at least twenty-five factories between 1853 and 1920. Here developed a particular style and color palette, as well as the ‘moss’ background only found in ceramics from this area.”
Lavishly illustrated with 159 color photographs, “this volume surveys the work of the most important artists of the Portuguese Palissy revival, focusing on the two major figures, Namuel Cipriano Gomes Mafra and Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, but also covering other important ceramists, including Jose Alves Cunha, Jose Francisco de Sousa, and Manuel Gustavo Bordalo Pinheiro. By the way of context, it provides background histories of both Portugal and Calda da Rainha. This is an indispensable book for the collector, dealer, or historian of antique majolica pottery wares.
