À Casteldurante, Cipriano Piccolpasso achève vers 1557 un traité révélant les secrets des maîtres de l'art de la majolique. Excellent observateur en matière de façonnages, de couleurs et de cuissons, Piccolpasso livre un témoignage unique sur la fabrication de la faïence stannifère dans l'Italie de la Renaissance. Il n'omet aucun conseil ou recette et son enthousiasme court tout au long de sa description méthodique, illustrant en détail les outils et les scènes du métier. Contemporain de Bernard Palissy, Piccolpasso cherchera en vain à faire imprimer son ouvrage qui restera oublié pendant trois siècles avant d'être acquis par le Victoria & Albert Museum, à Londres. Depuis, le charme de ses dessins a ancré son traité dans l'imaginaire des céramistes et des historiens d'art. Auteur de cette édition inédite destinée à un public élargi, Jean-Marie Lhôte a travaillé en collaboration avec Jean Rosen, spécialiste de la faïence européenne, et Liliane Sfeir-Fakhri, chargée d'études céramiques.
