Ceramic Art in the Carpathian Basin
Ceramic Art in the Carpathian Basin

Summary/Abstract: The three books here reviewed are in essence the undertaking of a single person: Ferenc Vörösváry, the Series Editor, though unquestionably they would not have been published without art historians who wrote them, the contributions of sponsors, and the assistance of the private collectors and curators of public collections who granted access to the works of art themselves. Admiration and appreciation for works of art have been part of our culture for centuries, possibly millennia, as has the desire to possess them. Unique masterpieces have become public property thanks to the generosity of the many people who either founded museums or enriched the collections, donating sometimes hundreds of works and sometimes only a few precious pieces they thought important.
