The Ceramics Dictionary is a fundamental and essential tool for professionals, students and enthusiasts of ceramics, whether for learning, deepening or for support in research and publications. This work created by Joan Rosal exhaustively compiles and organizes the specific vocabulary of this artistic and technical field, offering clear and rigorous definitions of both traditional and contemporary terms.
This dictionary offers precise definitions of traditional and contemporary terms related to materials, shapes (and what they are called depending on the region), techniques, production processes and decoration of ceramics, as well as historical and stylistic concepts specific to Catalan and international ceramics. The dictionary contributes to the adequate cataloguing and description of ceramic heritage, facilitating a better understanding and transmission of knowledge within the sector.
