Ceramic art in remote ages : with essays on the symbols of the circle, the cross and circle, the circle and ray ornament, the fylfot, and the serpent, showing their relation to the primitive forms of solar and nature worship
Ceramic Art in Remote Ages is an 1874 London publication by the designer and writer John Burley Waring, issued by J.B. Day and aimed at students of ancient decoration and archaeology. Its lithograph plates show prehistoric pottery vessels, each drawn in outline with hatched shading and labelled by origin, from Switzerland, England and Denmark. A designer could draw on the repeated banded geometric incisions, zigzags, chevrons and dotted lattices that wrap the vessels as ready-made surface patterns.
