This important book explores hand-crafted British ceramics, metalwork, wood, textiles, and stained glass through objects from the renowned collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and contributions from contemporary practitioners such as Grayson Perry and Edmund de Waal. Tracing Britain's development from an unsophisticated importer of luxury goods during the Renaissance to one of the leading worldwide exporters of decorative arts by the end of the 19th century, it also looks at the social and cultural contexts in which particular crafts meet both functional and aesthetic demands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Norman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851777083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851777082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Joanna Norman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939009495295,"sku":"9781851777082","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7304eaac-b369-433e-a64a-6f33852ccb2c.jpg?v=1681438961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handmade-in-britain-joanna-norman-9781851777082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
