Egyptian faience is a hallmark of ancient Egypt culture and is probably known to everyone who has visited the Egyptian gallery of a museum. This book examines the technology of making this vitreous material and outlines its long history, which stretches from early Predynastic times to the end of the pharonic Egypt and beyond. The range of uses found for faience is examined and some of the reasons for its popularity discussed. The author then examines the related technology of glass making and working. Glass has a much shorter history, flourishing only in the New Kingdom before declining again, not to find popularity until much later times. Although glass was relatively rare, Egyptian glass makers were able to produce many masterpieces, and the making and development of these forms are described, along with the archaeological evidence for sites where glass or faience were made.

L'Académie de Moustiers, créée en 1928, contribue par ses travaux à faire progresser la connaissance des faïences provençales. L'étude des céramiques est une discipline en perpétuelle évolution : au fil des recherches, les connaissances progressent, les attributions s'affinent, les certitudes sont remises en cause. Deux collections importantes de faïences de Moustiers, celle du musée Arbaud d'Aix - en - Provence et celle du musée de faïences de Moustiers, n'avaient jamais fait l'objet d'une publication spécifique. L'Académie de Moustiers a réalisé cet ouvrage, d'une part, pour combler ce manque, d'autre part, pour réexaminer ces prestigieuses collections à la lumière des derniers travaux de ses membres. 21 x 23 cm

Symbols of the warmth of home life and the time-honored artisan tradition, l'art de la table, or "table art," comes from two sister crafts: pottery and faience. One rustic and earthen, the other the very picture of refinement, both have played a fundamental role in the expression of French culture from rural life to the high court at Versailles. This lushly photographed book takes the reader on a sun-soaked journey to the craft's ancestral home of Provence, in the South of France, to view the fascinating process of creation involved in these cherished crafts. Filled with fascinating historical anecdotes, this thoroughly researched book goes inside the centuries-old ateliers of Provence to examine the making of pottery and faience from the cultivating of clay and its shaping at the potter's wheel to the kilns, painted decoration, and more. This lovely book offers not only a close-up look at this world-renowned craft but also a moving portrait of life in Provence.

This publication documenting the RISD's international loan exhibition is the the first in-depth American study of faience, a non-clay ceramic material with a glistening surface of scintillating colors including the vibrant blue of the Egyptian sky. Five essays and individual object entries by top scholars in the field illuminate the subject. "Gifts of the Nile" features more than two hundred small-scale masterpieces spanning three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history.

One of the ancient world's most beautiful forms of ceramic is today known as Egyptian faience. The ancient Egyptians named it tjehnet, meaning that which is brilliant or scintillating, and in their eyes it glistened with symbolic light. Although faience was made of common materials, especially quartz sand grains or crushed quartz pebbles, it nevertheless took on the splendor of gold or semiprecious gems. The creative variety was astonishing: from 36,000 faience tiles lining underground rooms in King Djoser's Third Dynasty Step Pyramid complex to tiny plaques for furniture inlay, from jewelry to statuary, from female fertility objects to perfume containers, amulets, inkwells, animal tomb gifts, mummy masks, and a host of other forms. This is the first publication to analyze fully the significance of faience in ancient Egypt, and to present the most marvelous examples of its creation. Under the skilled editorship of Florence Friedman, the world's leading scholars in the field--from the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Cleveland Museum of Art; the British Museum; and elsewhere--show how faience was used and produced, as well as its symbolic values and meanings. More than 150 pieces, drawn from public and private collections around the world, are reproduced in color and described in detail. This dazzling display looks at the origins of faience, and at its use in royal life, in daily life, and in connection with death and rebirth. Scientific data resulting from analyses of faience objects, a specially compiled glossary, and a comprehensive bibliography complete the work.

Painted tin-glaze pottery is perhaps the most thoroughly European ware the western world has produced. And yet it was an Islamic invention. The author traces the development of the tradition from the beginning to the present day with great precision. Illustrated with 24 color plates, 189 monochrome plates, 33 figures, and 9 maps.
