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.

Since, Dragon posted the other bibliographies that my husband put together, I won't post them again here. Huette Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:33:47 -0400 From: Johnna Holloway Subject: Re: [Sca-cooks] Books on Dishes To: Cooks within the SCA 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.
