A fresh, tight copy, with no signs of prior use, and probably as nice a copy as you will ever see.

Their appeal -- conjuring images of afternoons in homey tearooms or elegant gatherings in grand hotels -- is universal. But a new generation of teapots has stood tradition on its ear. As author Leslie Ferrin says, "Today the teapot has one foot in the kitchen and the other in the art world." "For the artist, making a teapot provides daunting challenges. As the various parts -- body, lid, handle, spout and foot -- are assembled, each creator must solve technical difficulties within the context of design, function and scale. As a result, teapots are the objects with which artists in all media demonstrate the heights of their technical and creative abilities." "Teapots Transformed: Exploration of an Object tells the tale of this art form, from the traditional, functional teapot to an eclectic mix of contemporary designs. The exhilarating collection is presented in more than 120 vivid full-color photographs. The book will delight tea drinkers around the world, while providing inspiration for artists and a visual feast for the growing number of teapot collectors.

Some faint spotting on endpapers else internally neat, clean, brigh…t and tight. In its original dust wrapper, rubbed at edges, crushed at spine ends, a little browned and shelf worn. Carol Barker painted the pictures in this book after a visit to Greece (where the story is set). British writer H E Bates (Fair Stood the Wind for France; Love for Lydia; The Darling Buds of May etc) liked the pictures so much he agreed to provide a text story to accompany them - and Achilles the Donkey was born. There were to be two further Achilles stories from the partnership - Achilles and Diana and Achilles and the Twins.
