This highly illustrated guide to porcelain and bone china gives detailed information essential to the non-expert for appraising each individual piece and determining its origin. English porcelains rank amongst the finest ever made; bone china was a wholly English development and was the admiration and envy of the world. This book provides detailed technical knowledge of factory processes, colours and glazes, of decorative styles and social fashions. Porcelain marks are fully explained to allow the collector to identify pieces. The gradual changes in technique and output that took place within all the major porcelain factories are described, allowing the collector to explain and date many unusual specimens.
