Description: 20th Century Decorative British Tiles, Craft and Studio Tile Makers For the first time, this book uncovers the fascinating history and diverse design of decorative ceramic tiles in Britain during the 20th century. Following extensive research and study, author Chris Blanchett, a well-known British tile enthusiast and collector, has compiled the story of the smaller craft companies and studios that made such lively and exciting tiles during this vibrant period. Over 850 striking color photographs illustrate the work of well-known designers from the past such as Bernard Leach and William Staite Murray, more recent tile makers such as Maggie Berkowitz and Eleanor Greeves, and innovative craft companies such as Smoke and Fire and Royce Wood. The book features an entry for each maker, listing all known addresses, a short history of the studio and its products, a gallery of tile images, and a section on identification and dating. A bibliography is included as well as a glossary, comprehensive index, and price guide. This beautiful and informative book is an essential reference for all who are fascinated with the art of tile.
