摘要:
"Durable, honest, and handsome, the tableware and tiles created by Heath Ceramics are design icons. Made according to the artisanal tradition conceived by Edith Heath in the mid-1940s - when she founded the company in Sausalito, California - Heathware is as admired and sough after today as it was half a century ago. Heath is one of the few remaining mid-century modern American potteries, and now its remarkable history, legacy, and culture, along with the details of its output and the extraordinary life of the woman who created it, are told here for the first time.".
