Note di critica ceramica
A critical study of pottery by Gaetano Ballardini, published in Faenza in 1900, written for students and specialists of ceramics. Its plates photograph majolica and maiolica dishes with a shared treatment: a plain grey ground, a central medallion, and a rim of ornament. A designer could take from them the tight radial layouts of rims, medallions and scrolling foliage used on plate decoration.
