first reliable reference on Aus. studio work. November 6, 1999
This book was published in 1987 and knowledge of the history and significance of Austrailian studio pottery has increased since then. However this is the most useful work for identifying studio works and to obtain short bios. on the artists. It is highly sought by collectors of Australian pottery and is a worthy addition to a reference collection. Note a new book covering Australian Studio potters will be available SHORTLY through the Shepparton Art Gallery, Austalia. The Author is Greg Hill.
