{"product_id":"9781802792393","title":"Around the World in 80 Pots : The story of humanity told through beautiful ceramics","description":"\u003cp\u003eReligion. Humour. Trade. Sex. Folklore. Creativity. Pots can tell us more about the lives of the people who made and used them than any other artefacts.   Bearing the imprint of their maker, ceramics give us a direct physical link to the past, often the only evidence of longforgotten civilizations that have otherwise crumbled to dust, and a unique passport to other cultures. From the most rough-hewn clay bowl that tells us how bread was baked over 5,000 years ago in Iraq, to ethereally beautiful porcelain used for religious rituals, and from a lewd Renaissance novelty dish to a sleek contemporary vessel inspired by traditional African techniques, Around the World in 80 Pots is an eclectic journey across time and place, and a rare insight into humankind's oldest craft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45460149502173,"sku":"9781802792393","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781802792393.jpg?v=1720009681","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781802792393","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
