California Faience at once invokes both the familiar and the exotic. It is a name fortuitously chosen for a ceramic enterprise that operated in Berkeley, California, from 1913 to 1959. Its wares found homes in humble cottages and the great castle of William Randolph Hearst. This book, for the first time, presents a comprehensive overview of the history and wares of California Faience and related West Coast Porcelain, Potlatch Pottery and Deer Creek Pottery. With over 700 illustrations, the beauty of the vessels, tiles and sculptures from this studio are displayed in full glory.

Berkeley Bohemia highlights the contributions of the eccentric residents of one of America's centers of cultural innovation, during a critical period in the development of the country's radical thought. These writers and artists included Ansel Adams, Jack London, Dorothea Lange, John Muir, Bernard Maybeck, Joaquin Miller, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles and Lousie Keeler and other colorful characters less well known today.Due to its vibrant setting as a crossroads of cultures, Berkeley continues as a fertile ground for individuality, eccentricity, and creative expression. The Berkeley legacy of scholars and visionaries has inspired three generations of men and women, who still make Berkeley a place where ordinary people can flourish creatively, and the extraordinary is welcomed.
