The treatment is not historical but focuses on the current or recent work of each artist. Interspersed throughout the book are photographic features - for example on teapots and decorated plates - which provide interesting opportunities for comparison between artists working within the same genre. Biographical and technical information is kept to a minimum in the main text, being assembled at the end of the book in an appendix of concise biographies and a glossary of terms.' - Editors note
