Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1966. 24 plates (8 in color). [48] pp. Stiff paper covers with full-page color plate. 20.4 x 21.7 cm. The Natzlers were the most civilized people I have ever met. They fled Vienna in 1938 during the Nazi takeover, after they already had become established as important potters. The studio at their modest home on Mulholland Drive along the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles produced some of the most beautiful ceramics ever made. She threw the delicate, classically elegant pots, while he, with some background in chemistry, experimented endlessly to produce one extraordinary glaze after another. The "lava" and "crater" and reduction glazes are justly famous. 175 pieces described. "Museum collections," "Exhibitions," "Selected bibliography." 2500 copies. Top corner bumped; light scrape near top edge and some small wear at the bottom edge. Item #24491
