Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape

When I pre-ordered I was excited to learn more about AP the company and the catalog they produced with some information on the designers but when my copy arrived I was stoked at the number of photos, their quality and by the sheer amount of information packed into it. The features on the different designers was predictably informative but I also really appreciated learning about what inspired the start of the company.

We found this book to be informative, exciting, and comprehensive. We appreciate the beautiful pictures, historical information and artists profiles. We highly recommend this book to anyone interested in mid-century ceramics or design.

Fabulous overview of the great Los Angeles based pottery/design manufacturing firm.

The research, information, and photography makes this book so special. I highly recommend for those that are already fans and for those that want to learn about Architectural Pottery. I purchased 10 additional books today for Holiday gifts. My thanks to those that created this fantastic book! A+++

Loved every single page of this book! I really appreciate the research and sharing it with the world. Y’all really worked hard!!

I have been a collector of this pottery for +25 years. This is a great resource book to provide a history and background for people to know more about the company but also the vision of the company's founders. A must have for any collector of AP or even a fan of mid century modern design and ceramics.

My friends and I have collected Architectural Pottery for more than 3 decades. We've owned dozens of pieces and catalogs and had even visited the founder, Max Lawrence, on several occasions at his residence. I thought we pretty much knew everything there is to know about A/P...boy was I wrong. This long awaited book exceeded expectations. It's a wealth of information and beautifully photographed. Many thanks Chavkin, Head, & Lauria for your efforts...you nailed it!

I long time coming book about a design changing pottery company. The book goes into depth about the pottery that was a favorite in the Mid Century Modern movement. Preferred by the architects Neutra, Lautner, Koenig, and Ellwood. Lots of great vintage photos and new photos.
