Nichols Collection and the Philadelphia Museum of Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful and eminently useful, stonewares produced in the German-speaking lands from the Middle Ages onward were highly valued for their durability and suitability for a range of domestic and social uses. Widely traded throughout Europe, they were also among the first European ceramics to reach colonial North America. During the Renaissance the addition of brilliant salt glazes--s well as relief imagery that communicated with the user--raised the status of these wares. Later examples introduced abstract floral or geometric decorations and more unusual, original forms, which retained broad cultural significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout ninety fine stoneware pieces from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a promised private collection testify here to the success, artful decoration, and fascinating variety of this medium. Jack Hinton describes the developments in stoneware through these notable examples, and beautiful color images bring their details vividly to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhiladelphia Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e(05\/05\/12-08\/05\/12)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Hinton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300179782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300179781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Philadelphia Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.22w x 0.26d","brand":"Jack Hinton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448790659327,"sku":"9780300179781","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13ea9d9a-766f-4ad1-a146-7b81637ea8df.jpg?v=1777260565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-german-stoneware-jack-hinton-9780300179781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
