About the book >.>.> Archaeologist and social historian Ivor No?l Hume brings British history to life through his accessible story about the everyday ceramic objects he and his first wife collected over a 40-year period. Cultural and even political history form the warp and weft of the book. Wonderful color photographs largely by noted photographer Gavin Ashworth enhance the historical and personal commentary. Part catalog part memoir If These Pots Could Talk is a beautiful tribute to the richness of collecting and the rewards of a true partnership. “Comprising elements of a detective story a historical narrative and the history of ceramic technology this book has something for everyone. As a ceramic collection guided by an archaeological perspective the Audrey and Ivor No?l Hume Collection is a unique resource to be used by all who appreciate pottery. (OS)
