A thoughtful book that looks with care at the overlooked. * Magdalene Odundo, OBE, artist and Emerita Professor, University for the Creative Arts, UK * Authoritative historical scholarship leavened by Shales’s connoisseurial passions and humor. * Juliet Kinchin, former Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA * Shales shows how humble wares can mean more than the most rare and exquisite, yet untouchable, of gallery exhibits. Art historians and museum curators, take note! * Tim Ingold, University of Aberdeen, UK * No mean feat. You will never look at a Kool-Aid pitcher in the same way again. * Gerald W.R. Ward, Curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture Emeritus, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA * An epic achievement for fictile scholarship. * Garth Clark, founder of Garth Clark Gallery and editor of C-File *
