Excerpt from The Earthenware Collector Naturally the author touches lightly on the earlier British wares as scarcely coming within the scope of the ordinary collector, whose interest is likely to be confined to a definite period beginning with the pictur esque Slip ware of 'wrotham in the early decades of the seventeenth century and continuing until the opening of the Victorian era, when Pottery shared with the rest of the arts the decline inseparable from the greatly increased resort to mechanical means of production, to say nothing of the tyranny of commercial and utilitarian principles.

Excerpt from Pottery Porcelain: A Guide to Collectors In preparing Pottery and Porcelain for a new edition, I have endeavored to make such improvements as will afford additional help to the inexperienced collector. The chapter on "Hints and Cautions," which has gained approval in many quarters, is enlarged, and should now be more effective in safeguarding the reader against errors and disappointments. A new chapter on "Values and Prices" has been added, with information which should be of some interest and service. Several of the notices on ceramic factories have been rewritten, and many new ones added, together with marks rewritten, and many new ones added, together with marks and fresh information. The list of Sevres decorators has been rendered more complete by the addition of some sixty-five names and signs, while the other soft-paste factories have received more attention than in previous editions. The illustrations have been reconsidered; unsatisfactory ones replaced, and several fresh ones, including three new coloured plates, added.

Excerpt from A Manual of Pottery and Porcelain for American Collectors I must also thank those who have assisted me by letter, and by placing at my disposal their libraries and various col lections. Particularly would I mention mr. W. C. Prime, whose long and scholarly attention to the Old World monu ments has familiarized him with the subject which I had in hand: of his extended inquiry I frequently availed myself, much to the advantage of these pages. My obligations are also due to mr. Clarence cook, whose thorough knowledge of art at home and abroad has been of great service to me.

Excerpt from The China Collector's Pocket Companion A portable book of marks and monograms is a necessary complement to the extensive ceramic works of the present day. In this little volume care has been taken not to assign a locality to marks except upon unquestionable authority. It is better to raise doubt than to sow error. The one time and research may dispel; the other it is impossible to eradicate when once allowed to take root.

Excerpt from Handbook of Marks on Pottery and Porcelain The ardent collector of Pottery or Porcelain, even when he has long passed his novitiate, constantly feels the need of a reliable pocket volume containing the authentic and indisputable marks of the pottery and porcelain of the best collectors' periods. It has been our aim to supply such a volume in a condensed and practical form. The only marks given in this book are those which are beyond dispute. The arrangement is geographical, the different species of ware being separately treated wherever practicable; but, by elaborate indices, ready reference has been provided to each mark, as well as to each factory. In addition, a condensed account of the important productions of every country prefaces each section of the work. The aim, throughout, has been to render the work as complete and self-contained as such a pocket manual can be; though, in his study, the collector will naturally turn for fuller information to the important histories or monographs, such as those mentioned in the bibliography. It has been assumed that the collector is acquainted with the broad distinctions of Simple Pottery, Fai'ence, Stoneware, and Porcelain. The terms are used here in a very definite way. Simple pottery includes all the forms of earthenware whether made from white or coloured clays, glazed with a transparent lead glaze.
