I features such a descorative patterns and forms can be imitated, a technique shoud be learnt. The transmission of know-how is a complex process; diverse factors that could either flavour or discourage this process shoud be taken into account. Fashion and the demands of the market are triggers that stimulate production: certainly, products that circulated widely and were regarded as fashionable during a certain time, played a role in encouraging the learning of new techniques in pottery making. This was posible either through prolonged contact with skilled craftsmen or by a process of experimentation, but acess to the relevant raw materials is always essential. Moreover, the objects made for the domestic marker often differ from those to be exported, as the demand is related as well to local habirs, tradition and taste. Thus, differentiating features according the final destination of a product minimizes its rejection. Different case studies will be discussed, in order to analyse the major features that marked the passage between the late Middle Ages and the early modern period in pottery making in Italy with reference to the context of the western Mediterranean.
Introduction
Acess to raw materials and diffusion of know-how: tin-glazed pottery in the west Mediterranean
Cobalt blue: fashions and models, technique and supply
From the Iberian to the Italian peninsula: the technique of lusterware
Chinese porcelain and local imitations: from luxury good to global commodity
Conclusions
P. 107-130
