Dissapointment September 23, 2005
5 out of 18 found this review helpful

Since I was very found from the book 500 bowls .I ordered 500 cups and I was very anxious to receive it ) and unfourtantly the book was a dissapointment because it had more of the same in most of the pages. Most of the book (more than half of the book) is about different examples of some type of reduction and most ceramics have only an electric klin. On the other hand there are 500 hundred pictures so you can find a few inspartaional pages.
Hope my reveiw was helpful.

Great Reference February 28, 2005
50 out of 51 found this review helpful

Like so many of the Lark books, this one is filled with, you guessed it, 500 photos. Nicely dnone I might add (I am a commercial photographer who dabbles in ceramics to keep myself sane...ish). Now I must admit that I didn't actually count the photo's to see if there are exactly 500, but I'll bet the editor did.

This book isn't a technique book, but a beautiful reference of about any imaginable ceramic cup, functional and not (some are full of holes and would hold nothing but cotton), traditional, contemporary, Japanese style, hand built, thrown, altered and, well, just about everything I have personally ever been exposed to or even heard about.

I love this book.

I find great inspiration as I turn each page.

If you are looking for references, inspiration, or just some great ceramic works, I highly recommend this book. While you are at it, check out the one on bowls. It's great as well.
