Estoy muy interesado en conseguir algún libro sobre las casitas de cerámica de Lituania. Había visto alguna en España y este verano he visitado Vilnius, Riga y Tallin y me quedé maravillado al visitar las tidendas de souvenirs con esa inmensa cantidad de modelos de casitas de cerámica artística que he tenido oportunidad de visitar. He comprado algunas y quisiera iniciar una colección tan numerosa como mis posibilidades me lo permitan y así continuar disfrutar de tan maravilloso y bonito arte de vuestras casitas de cerámica.
Desearía saber si, además de las páginas que se pueden encontrar en Internet, sería posible, si los hay, conseguir libros-catálogo de cerámica artística para poder comprar.
Agradezco su atención y desde ya su repuesta.

as we understood correctly, you would like to purchase a book about Lithuanian ceramic small houses made as souvenirs which you saw while visiting Lithuania, Vilnius during your trip to Baltic countries?
At this moment we can sell you a book „Lithuanian Folk Pottery” by Anthony Stellaccio published in 2011. The book provides an extensive review of traditional Lithuanian folk ceramics. The first part of the paper analyses and presents context of formation of specific traditional ceramics in Lithuania in the 19 to 20th century: it characterises evolution of ceramics in both prehistoric (starting with the Neolithic Era) and various historic times. It observes that the Lithuanian traditional ceramics was affected by various and different cultures, with corresponding equivalents to be found in traditional ceramics of neighbouring countries. The second part of a paper is dedicated to various traditional forms of Lithuanian folk ceramics and their regional varieties. It refers to application of ceramic items in daily household. It then concerns specific dishes for catering, keeping and serving, ceramic items found in interior (flower pots, vases, candlesticks and toys). The third part of a paper concerns the ornaments and symbols behind Lithuanian folk ceramics, as well as specific combinations of symbols. The paper specifically discusses most common symbols of earth, heaven, water, etc. found in ceramics; these are analysed in general cultural context. The paper notes symbols of flower motives, expression of the tree of the world, animals displayed, etc. in traditional ceramics. It concludes that traditional symbols in Lithuanian ceramics shall be interpreted as determined by specific cultural glossary, as well as being archetypically universal. The fourth part of a book focuses on production technology, production means, production process and the environment of traditional Lithuanian folk ceramics.
