PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Patricia F. Ferguson is an external adviser on ceramics to The National Trust, having researched their collections since 2003 and is a consulting curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. She has an MA from SOAS, University of London, where she studied Chinese, Japanese and Safavid ceramics. At the George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto, she redisplayed the European galleries, curated 'Containers of Beauty: the Art of Floral Display' and 'Your Presence is requested: the Art of Dining in eighteenth-century Europe', and was author of Cobalt Treasures: The Robert Murray Bell and Ann Walker Bell Collection of Chinese Blue and White Porcelain (2003).
This thoroughly-researched volume showcases 100 masterpieces selected from the vast collections of the National Trust. Novel and noteworthy in her approach, Ferguson has arranged the book, not by the conventions of material, place of origin or date, but by the time these objects began to appear in British households. In doing so, the author has created a book that is as much about history of taste, privilege, pride of possession and preservation as it is about the history and development of ceramics. This publication offers a bounty of new scholarship and is an engaging read. Without doubt, this volume represents the best of ceramic scholarship and is destined to find a prized place on the bookshelves of nearly all ceramic collectors, curators and scholars.--American Ceramic Circle Book Award, 2017, americanceramiccircle.org
