The Pottery Age

These 100 examples, from various Neolithic cultures throughout the region known today as China, are described in this catalog by the collector himself, focusing on their design and engineering ingenuities and their artistic merits. After a 50-year career in consumer product design, author Ronald W. Longsdorf applies the principles of that discipline to these marvelous pots. This is the only book currently available in the market for collectors who wish to study Neolithic ceramics from China from this exquisite collection. It includes lots of information and comparisons from other pieces in museums. Text in English and Chinese.
