There are more working potters in India than in any other country in the world.  This book documents the work of contemporary Indian potters, their techniques and production, and the use of clay in Indian households and temples today.  It also explores comparison of today's products with those of ancient India.  Many of the sculptures and vessels featured in this book were discovered by the author during nineteen years of extensive travel, research and photography throughout the Indian subcontinent, and have never been documented before.
