Publisher's Note
Although made of common materials, faience took on the splendor of gold or semiprecious gems and was highly prized by the ancient Egyptians. This is the first publication to analyze fully the significance of faience in ancient Egypt, and to present the most marvelous examples of its creations. More than 150 pieces, drawn from public and private collections around the world are reproduced and described here in detail. 350 illustrations, 150 in color.

Industry Reviews
Friedman (curator of ancient art, Museum of Art, Rhode Island Sch. of Design) provides a catalog that expands the Rhode Island School of Design's new traveling exhibit, affording an intimate look at a critical area of Egyptian art. There is little gold to catch the eye and no colossal statues to marvel at in the exhibit, but many of the faience pieces selected are important and most are exquisite. While spectators in exhibit halls must jostle to view each item, the catalog's photographs permit a detailed look, and essays by outstanding scholars in the field provide insight into creation and use. The photographs are exceptionally clear, critical in a book so filled with detail. This is a definitive work in what had been a barren field. Highly recommended for large public and academic libraries. Mary Morgan Smith, Northland P.L., PA
