What reading level is The Art of the Precursors a Study in the History of Early Italian Maiolica Wit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On putting one's hand inside them the ridges caused by the pressure of the potter's fingers on the plastic clay while it turned on the wheel are unmistakably evident it is a " touch of a vanish'd hand " across the centuries. Even the exteriors will show the same ridges in a less degree, the inequalities imparting a soft variation of light and shade which is agreeable rather than other- wise to the eye. Further examining the vessel one may see the mark of the finger and thumb which held it while... it was being dipped in the glaze, or turning it upside down we note the diminishing curves made by the string by which it was cut off the wheel. The wares, indeed, abound in those picturesque accidents which endear them to the student of history, but which it is to be foared would incur the severest censure of the Staffordshire manu- facturer if present in the wares of today. He would especially condemn the inequality of the glaze, and as to the poverty of the palette, it was so deplorable as to be quite beneath the notice of a self-respecting man of business.
