Over the last forty years, architect and collector Peter Marino has acquired a remarkable collection of pieces by French ceramicist, Ernest Chaplet. This collection is a precious testimony of a rare production - a new line of ceramics created by Chaplet in 1883 for the Limoges-based factory Haviland & Co. Ernest Chaplet sheds deserved light on this great artist, whose career exemplifies the evolution of artistic ceramics at the turn of the 20th century, and whose work entered the collections of many museums during his lifetime.

A comprehensive exploration of the life and works of French ceramicist, Adrien Dalpayrat in a meticulously produced luxurious, oversized format Adrien Dalpayrat was one of the most highly regarded ceramicists working in France in the late nineteenth century. Dalpayrat's recognition came relatively late in life, at age 45, when he first revealed the distinctive oxblood glazes for which he was best known, along with the variety of stoneware forms he employed -- everything from gourds to fantastical marine creatures. Dalpayrat's works are included in global private and museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d'Orsay, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt. In this book architect Peter Marino shares his collection of Dalpayrat masterpieces, each beautifully reproduced in a luxurious, oversized format with 270 color illustrations. Also included is a foreword by Peter Marino and insightful essays by curator Etienne Tornier as well as an extensive plates section with works by Dalpayrat. With the same trim size and overall design, the volume is the perfect companion to Peter Marino's previous book, Théodore Deck.
