The authors examine the evolution of ceramic artists in Mexico and Denmark, tracing their journey from village potters to porcelain producers through interviews and photographs. This narrative emphasizes themes of persistence and the balance of success and failure in creating ceramic art for a global audience. It contrasts the experiences of potters who shift from traditional techniques to corporate porcelain production with those who return to their artisanal roots. The research centers on communities near Guadalajara and Danish towns like Naestved and Bornholm, comparing small pottery factories with large companies such as Royal Copenhagen. Originally researched in the 1970s, this recently rediscovered manuscript merges historical insights with contemporary material, offering a distinct perspective on the evolution of ceramic arts over three decades.
