Description:
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Table of Contents: Page 1 - Page 2 This lushly photographed book takes the reader on a colorful journey to the crafts' ancestral home of Provence, in the South of France. The region's clay-rich soil and baking sun provided a fertile ground for the development of this artisan craft born of hazard and necessity. Filled with fascinating historical anecdotes, this thoroughly researched book takes the reader inside the secluded, family-owned ateliers of Provence, passed from generation to generation, where masterful hands sculpt raw clay into cherished works of table art. Their pure, generous shapes-the merry potbelly of a wine pitcher, the robust curves of a stewpot, the elegant features of a serving plate-reflect a centuries-old way of life, where the kitchen was the heart of the home. Photographed in gorgeous natural sunlight by Camille Moirenc, this lovely book offers not only a close-up look at this world-renowned craft but also a moving portrait of life in Provence.
