From the publisher: "The articles in this survey have been arranged in six sections. The first, ENGLISH POTTERY 1650-1800, shows the contribution made by both simple and sophisticated earthen wares in the history of English ceramics. The second, ENGLISH 18TH CENTURY PORCELAINS puts English porcelain making in its historical context. The third is devoted to WEDGWOOD. The fourth, CERAMIC FIGURES AND PORTRAITS reflects the traditional role of the potter as an image maker. The fifth BLUE PRINTED WARES shows the importance of an artistically humble, but economically vital basic product of the 19th century. The sixth section is VICTORIAN AND LATER POTTERY AND PORCELAIN." Includes WEDGWOOD: WHAT'S IN A MARK by Geoffrey A. Godden: "Another mark which is so close to the true Wedgwood mark that it can be mistaken for it by the casual observer is WIEGWOOD, again just sufficiently dissimilar to avoid legal action. It is occasionally found on Wedgwood-type creamwares and also on black basalt wares. A superb covered tureen with this mark is shown.". First Edition (so stated). Hard Cover.
