Download or read book A Guide to Collecting Studio Pottery written by Alistair Hawtin and published by A&C Black Visual Arts. This book was released on 2008-09-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a guide for both beginner collectors and those who have already started on how, where and what to buy in contemporary studio ceramics as a collector. It looks at the best venues, from galleries and auctions to craft fairs and even car boot sales, and explains what to look for, or alternatively, to avoid. It discusses the various types of studio pottery for the uninitiated, as well as looking at the way people can collect items - only buying pieces from a few specific potters, or collecting just teapots from hundreds of places. Collecting Contemporary Ceramics examines the pros and cons of collecting for investment or for pleasure, and how to go about doing both. It also discusses more abstract angles such as: Why do people collect? With interviews from a few noted collectors and makers, this will open up a whole new world to those interested in collecting ceramics but without the knowledge of where to go and what to look for.

FULHAM. The honour is claimed for Fulham of the first discovery of porcelain-making in England. John Dwight, a man of considerable learning, obtained a patent in 1671 from Charles II. for the manufacture of transparent porcellane. His ware. however, was not a true porcelain, but only a semi-translucent earthenware. He also made some excellent imitations of the German grey stoneware which, up to his time, had been largely imported from Cologne. Fulham stoneware was not confined to articles of domestic use, but statuettes, busts, and fancy figures were also produced. In the South Kensington Museum is a beautiful half-length figure of a dead child, inscribed, Lydia Dwight, died March 3, 1673. i58 FUNFKIRCHEN--FURSTENBURG The bust of Prince Rupert and statuette of Meleager in the British Museum are also excellent specimens of Fulham stoneware, and there are several examples in the Jermyn Street Museum. As regards the stoneware jugs and pots, it is in many cases difficult to decide between the claims of Fulham and some of the German factories. One has to be guided by the character of the decoration, the nationality of the coat of arms or device, and the language of the motto or legend, if there be one. The works were carried on by Dwight's descendants until 1862, when Messrs. Macintosh & Clements became the proprietors. In 1864 this firm was succeeded by Mr. C. T. C. Bailey, who greatly improved and enlarged the manufactory. It is now carried on by a limited company. In 1888 Mr. William de Morgan opened a factory here (see De Morgan). FONFKIRCHEN, Hungary. A modern factory of faience has been established here by W. Zsolnay; the ware is well decorated with floral scrolls. Mark as in the...
