Abstract
Claire Blakey and Rachel King question the role of print sources in understanding the problematic subject of lead-glazed relief-moulded ceramics attributed to the French potter Bernard Palissy and the body of post-Palissian wares, most often identified as copies. They argue that the three-dimensional designs were based on a variety of inter-disciplinary materials and were only indirectly inspired by prints of the Fontainebleau School and others. By looking beyond the master of French Renaissance pottery, agency can be returned to these largely anonymous works.
