Interest in British studio pottery has increased beyond all recognition in the last ten years. Collectors world-wide now compete avidly for pots by masters such as Leach, Hamada, Cardew, Rie, Coper and Fritsch. One reason for this surge in interest is that parallels can be traced with other types of modern art and, although now rising rapidly in price, pots still cost much less than paintings or sculpture of similar stature. Moreover, for most of the twentieth century British studio ceramics have been the best in the world. (Publisher’s text)
