520 _a"Historic Ornament, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by James Ward is a comprehensive treatise on decorative art and architectural ornament written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the exploration of historical ornamentation, focusing particularly on various decorative arts such as pottery, enamels, metalwork, and textiles. It aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the evolution of ornamentation across different cultures and time periods. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by referencing the prior volume’s discussions on prehistoric pottery and the oldest civilizations. The opening chapter reviews the historical progress of ceramics, beginning from the late Middle Ages and connecting with ancient Greek pottery. It highlights the significance of Greek vases in terms of both form and decoration, detailing their various types, uses, and the artistry involved in their creation. The text emphasizes the aesthetic principles that guided Greek artists, showcasing their precision in proportions and elaborate designs, while linking their influences to subsequent artistic developments in pottery across different regions.
