Pottery (in the form of broken potsherds) happens to be one of the
most common artifacts found in almost every archeological dig. Many,
many papers have been written and many careers in the field made on
pottery. Any university library ought to be able to provide a huge
wealth of material on any of those eras and places.
In addition to that, the following bibliography was provided by
Master Hroar to the Calafian Potters Guild. I have not had an
opportunity to peruse most of these but if he recommends them, I
personally take it that they are useful and/or accurate references.

So, if the Geza Fehervari book we have is the same as the one you
listed, then it is good. I haven't seen the Arthur Lane book.
Since, Dragon posted the other bibliographies that my husband put
together, I won't post them again here.

The one that I have at home is Coutts. The Art of Ceramics.
European Ceramic Design 1500-1800. It's good on the Renaissance stuff.
There are probably a hundred or more volumes worth looking at and this is where
a good art library comes in handy as one just browses in the sections
and pulls out the interesting books.
