Discover the outstanding artistry of 38 noted international ceramists who work in earthenware to make vibrant functional, sculptural and figurative pieces. The artists were selected by curator Matthias Ostermann, a master of earthenware in his own right. From highly decorative to relatively unadorned objects, forms that pay obvious homage to the past to those seemingly determined to sever all ties with it, the works included in this provocative and engaging collection illustrate the diversity and technical expertise contemporary artsits bring to the medium.

Each artist's best earthenware achievements are presented on eight consecutive pages of spectacular color photographs. You'll also read the artists' comments about their inspirations and processes.

The outstanding earthenware masters featured in this collection will astound and delight artists, collectors and readers alike with their creativity, imagination and excellence.
