Summary:	"This Book focuses on the art deco ceramics that were produced by the British pottery industry during the late 1920s and early '30s. It examines the background of art deco and how it developed in France during the early part of the twentieth century and explores how European designers created new shapes and patterns and how these ideas eventually made their way into British design." "An important section of the book is a comprehensive survey of many smaller factories that are not well known today. Information on the products of fifty-five of these manufacturers, many of whom are discussed for the first time in a book, provides invaluable new sources of collecting."--BOOK JACKET.
