This book is the culmination of nearly thirty years' work in caring
for, studying, and developing the collections in this Museum by
Timothy Wilson, long-time Keeper of Western Art. Wilson is
well-known as a specialist in the study of European Renaissance
ceramics. The Ashmolean collections have their origins in the
collection of C.D.E. Fortnum (1820-1899), but have been developed
further in the last quarter-century, so that they can claim to be
one of the top such collections of Renaissance ceramics worldwide.
This book, containing 289 catalogue entries, will completely
encompass the Museum's collection of postclassical Italian pottery,
including pieces from excavations. In addition it will include
catalogue entries for some seventy selected pieces of pottery from
France, the Low Countries, England, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and
Mexico, in order to present a wide-ranging picture of the
development of tin-glaze pottery from Islamic Spain through to
recent times. It will also include an essay by Kelly Domoney of
Cranfield University, and Elisabeth Gardner of the Ashmolean's
Conservation Department, on the technical analysis and conservation
history of some pieces in the collection.
