Featuring over 370 stunning photos and detailed, scholarly text,
this is the first book about this popular 19th century European art
form! They are magical porcelain three-dimensional pictures, which
can be seen only when backlit, and were a popular craze in the late
Victorian era. The lithophanes here enhanced tea warmers, plaques,
vases, night lights, lampshades, table screens, fireplace screens,
complexion fans or hand screens, window panels, miniatures, steins,
cups, mugs, plates, matchboxes, and candle shields. The text
represents years of accumulated research, and provides information
on lithophane's Asian inspiration, manufacturing techniques,
production history, inspirations, and forms. This book is a must
for anyone with a passion for Victorian ceramics and art.
