In a brief introduction, Plath’s informative text relates the cultural history of Sweden and the varying traditions of its provinces. Successive chapters each take up a different craft medium: textiles, ceramics, metals, glass, wood, and wall paintings. In captions and text, the uses of hundreds of household articles are described, with details on their manufacture and local customs, if any, associated with them.
