The language in which this dialogue is conducted, "the language of things," is one in which Zeisel's fluency is unparalleled, and her thoughts, read alongside the photos of her creations and those that have inspired her, make this book indispensable to every enthusiast of art, ceramics, and design."--BOOK JACKET.
