DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Nineteenth-Century English Ceramic Art There are many books on English pottery and porcelain which treat of old ceramic art, but there are very few which deal with the later work of the nineteenth century, which show the special wares of the Victorian period and those of our own times, and which record the development of potteries whose oldest products are modern. Hence this book, which is an endeavour to do some justice to the descendants of the eighteenth-century potters, will at the same time recognise the talents of men who have moved along on independent lines, working out ideas which are characteristic of their wares.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from English Pottery and Porcelain: A Handbook for the Collector, Giving the Characteristics of the Chief Wares Produced From the 16th to the 19th Century, the Different Factory Marks, and Some Present-Day Values of Typical Specimens Caution in purchasing must be exercised at all times, for the market is flooded with spurious ware, embrac ing everything from the common Toby jug and plebeian lustre ware, to square-marked Worcester, Old Derby, Chelsea, and other high-priced porcelain. Some very useful information about these frauds will be found in this volume. Books can undoubtedly teach a man a great deal; but Experience, after all, is the great teacher, and if in addition to providing himself with such a handbook as this, the collector will visit the important sale-rooms during the season, and the National and similar collec tions as often as possible, he will rapidly acquire a sound knowledge of the subject.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Pottery and Porcelain of the United States: An Historical Review of American Ceramic Art From the Earliest Times to the Present Day Foreign writers would have the world believe that the United States can boast of no ceramic history. Even our own chroniclers have, singularly enough, neglected a branch of our industrial progress which is not altogether insignificant nor devoid of interest. On the contrary, it can be shown that the fictile art is almost as ancient in this country as in Great Britain, and has been developed in almost parallel, though necessarily narrower, lines. The need of a history of the Pottery Industry in America has long been felt, and has led to the preparation of the present volume, which, it is hoped, will be found to possess some interest to the student of ceramics, as well as to the collector. The author claims that his work is not a mere compilation, but has been based almost entirely upon thorough personal investigations. Some of the time-honored fallacies which have been perpetuated by compilers have been omitted from this record, and special care has been taken to avoid the use of statements which could not be substantiated.
