Lot Note(s): Published by Galerie Madoura, Madoura, France. Original English edition. Hardcover in tan cloth boards with white lettering with red pictorial dust jacket. Contains 320 pages with 570 color plates and 75 b&w illustrations. Includes Bibliography and list of Ceramic Exhibitions. Very good+ condition; a solid, tight, clean copy without any previous owner stamps, signatures, dedications, etc.; not ex-library; not a working copy; lower right front corner bumped; slight tanning to the page edges; in a very good+ dust jacket showing creasing where bumped and two horizontal lower center verso creases. The jacket is notoriously color-fragile with the jacket spine often found highly faded, our copy without a hint of fading. Overall a highly desirable copy of the scarce hardcover first edition. Comment(s): This title is rapidly becoming scarcer with a corresponding rise in the price. The most recent auction record we could find is a sale for $6,250 at Christie's New York, Noverber 15, 2022, with the dust jacket exhibiting a highly sunned spine.
