Lapid Ceramics: A Melting Pot

This book conjures up the memory of Lapid Ceramics, the spearhead of ceramics in Israel, an impressive industry that has now totally vanished. The book, a breakthrough in the research of the ceramics industry, tells the story of a factory whose products are still present in the homes of many Israelis, in Israel and abroad. Many of the vessels that were exported to countries around the world (USA, Canada, Australia and others) are a source of nostalgia, pulling us back to memories of the past. The book reminds us of the important place these vessels had in creating the young Israeli culture.

The chapters of the book include:

• From private hands to ownership by the Koor Company.
• The rule of thumb for identifying vessels
• A rich catalogue with hundreds of photographs
• Description of the employees and artists who cooperated with the factory

Thus, The book regains the lost glory of Lapid Ceramics.
The result is the first comprehensive book in Israel that documents a stratum of an industry that has disappeared, and rekindles the torch (Lapid in Hebrew).
