‘Pottery’ $349.95 Voluptuous shapes depict terracotta jars and bowls embraced by merchant women. “African women are the inspiration behind this painting,” Prince Dewodo says. “Especially the hardworking ones. In Ada in the Volta region of Ghana, where pot sellers are found, many women and young girls are into pottery. They mould pots and bowls, while others sell the finished items. And when market is not good, you will see them with their hands around their jaws.” |

Poole Pottery (Paperback) $10.9 Poole Pottery is recognized as one of the most distinctive and most collected potteries of the twentieth century.

This range became the basis for the more commercial Delphis range, which found immediate success and helped the company maintain its market position.The end of the twentieth century was a more difficult time for Poole, but it remains one of the great names of British ceramics and the decorative arts.
