L'art du potier de terre
L'art du potier de terre is an 1773 French treatise on pottery by M. Duhamel du Monceau, 1700-1782, printed in Paris for craftsmen and readers of the trades. Its plates show grids of small geometric tile and pattern designs in black and white, with lettered squares of zigzags, triangles, lattice and diamond motifs that a designer could adapt for repeat patterns, tiles or textiles.
