Description

Heath Ceramics: The Complexity of Simplicity A beautifully crafted volume celebrating the enduring legacy of Heath Ceramics, this book showcases the company's signature tableware and tiles. Founded in the mid-1940s by potter Edith Heath, the business has remained committed to artisanal traditions, with pieces still made in small runs at its factories in Sausalito and San Francisco. Striking photography and contributions from visionaries like restaurateur Alice Waters and Design Within Reach founder Rob Forbes complement a newly updated introduction from the current owners of Heath. This luxe volume offers a fascinating look at the company's remarkable history and its beautiful, timeless wares. With 192 pages of stunning images and insightful text, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in ceramics, design, or the art of creating enduring beauty.
