{"product_id":"a-to-z-of-pottery-bill-lawson-9781518876073","title":"A to Z of Pottery and Ceramics Trivia and Oddities","description":"Pottery and ceramics is normally regarded in a serious, mirthless manner. It doesn't matter whether it is magnificent works of art, educational and therapeutic activities, or the cutting edge of industrial technology in electronics or safe storage of nuclear waste that is under consideration. But there is a more human aspect to pottery and ceramics as well. The Cherokee people used a clay to make pipes which became much sought after by Europeans in their quest to make porcelain. Josiah Wedgwood was almost paranoid about colonial competition and feared industrial espionage. A distinguished British officer designed the Simple Yet Perfect (syp) Teapot. Much decoration on oriental pottery and porcelain has erotic connotations. These are just a few of the fascinating trivia and oddities that are contained in this book which bring the field of pottery and ceramics to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Lawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1518876072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781518876073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Bill Lawson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202950021375,"sku":"9781518876073","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1421770-812f-4d10-8bff-363709c53f0d.jpg?v=1756833876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-to-z-of-pottery-bill-lawson-9781518876073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
