Description: "Archaeologist and social historian Ivor Noel Hume brings British history to life through his accessible story about the everyday ceramic objects he and his first wife collected over a 40-year period. Cultural and even political history form the warp and weft of the book. Wonderful color photographs, largely by noted photographer Gavin Ashworth, enhance the historical and personal commentary.

Part catalog, part memoir, If These Pots Could Talk is a beautiful tribute to the richness of collecting and the rewards of a true partnership."--BOOK JACKET.
