The Book of Cups

Rating:
Summary: to the brim please
Review: a great example of variations on a theme being the root of human creativity... not a book of rich people's china but an ecclectic picture book of the potter's art, commercial and yes some fine china... as a potter I find it a delight

Summary: Terrible!
Review: It is ridiculous and I feel betrayed when I recieved this book. It is not expensive, but totally unecessary. I want inspirations for painting, but this one has absolutely nothing! Compare itwith Sheila Southwell and you will know why. I laughed about it, and my friends too!For this reason I'm grateful, and rated this book with 1/5 stars.

Summary: Artists' interpretations of an everyday object
Review: This charming little book is not a dry collectors' manual of fine china. Rather, it is a brief overview of cups in history, with a special emphasis on 20th-century and contemporary fine artists' interpretations. Also included are humorous, kitschy flea-market finds, and other irreverent examples. Definitely the art lover's cup of tea!
