Read: 22 December, 2007A survey of Medieval pottery divided into two parts. Part one deals with shaping, firing, and decorating techniques as well as the uses for pottery in both the domestic and industrial settings. Part two has an in-depth look at each area of England and the pottery styles common to each.
Part one is very interesting and a fun read. The writing style isn't too dry and it's full of great information. If you're looking for something to just pick up and read one afternoon and have some interest in pottery or Medieval life, it's a great choice.
Part two is a much more in-depth study. It's mostly sketches of pots with explanations that are written for brevity rather than readability. Basically, part one is the read bit and part two is the reference bit.
