Arranged geographically, this book presents Japanese, German, Scandinavian, Western European, North American and Mediterranean ceramics in a broad range of significant works. The high point is the work of Gilbert Portanier, with whom Peter Siemssen has had particularly close artistic contacts and ties of friendship. Documentary photographs faithfully reproducing the works lead into interpretative texts, artist biographies and Peter Siemssen's entertaining reminiscences to provide access to art ceramics in the latter half of the 20th century. Includes the following Scandinavian ceramic artists: Hans Munck Andersen,Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye, Gutte Eriksen, Bente Hansen, Ulrica Hydman-Vallien, Birger Kaipiainen, Bo Kristiansen, Stig Lindberg, Carl-Harry Stålhane and Bjørn Wiinblad
