Pottery has a long history in India. Over the centuries it has been used for domestic ware, votive pieces and for architecture, and each area of the country is known for its different styles, decorations and ways of making. In this book, Jane Perryman bot only looks at Indian pottery but also at the communities who make it, their organization, history and philosophy. This book encompasses the diversity and beauty of India itself and most particularly the stunning pottery that is made there. This is a beautiful book on a fascinating subject.
