About this Item

336 pages. Pages clean and bright. Illustrated throughout. Franklin 3269 (citing 1855 edition); Solon page 101: "The pottery and porcelain of other nations having been summarily dealt with in the preliminary chapters, th exclusive attention of the writers was bestowed upon the factories of Great Britain and their productions. Accordingly, every group of English pottery received a separate treatment, each section being prefaced with a well digested historical notice. The important manufactory and the modest pot-works, the vase of costly china and the rough porringer of Staffordshire, had their history told with the same exactness and reliability . This small handbook has done more to spread the taste for English ceramics than many volumes of more ambitious pretensions." Uncommon. Seller Inventory # 002357
