Download or read book Pottery and Porcelain of All Times and Nations written by William Cowper Prime and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pottery and Porcelain of All Times and Nations: With Tables of Factory and Artists Marks for the Use of Collectors Ten years ago there were probably not ten collectors of Pottery and Porcelain in the United States. To-day there are perhaps ten thousand. The exhibition in public museums of the fine works of ceramic art loaned by the few collectors who possessed them, revealed for the first time to the American public the wealth of beauty which is in "old china;" and now in nearly every city, town, and village in the land more or less persons are "collecting." The need of a book of the kind which I have endeavored to make has been manifest for some time. What to collect and why, how to collect and classify, are questions asked by many, and answered only by European works, in French and English, which indeed answer the questions better than this does, but are unfortunately inaccessible to the American collector outside of our larger cities. The preparation of the needed Volume has not been a voluntary undertaking with me. It was with extreme reluctance that I yielded to the urgent request of the publishers to make a book on Ceramic Art for American readers, students, and collectors. The very idea of a book for these three classes of people might well appall an author, looking at the vast extent of the subject. Those who are familiar with the art will appreciate the impossibility of bringing into one volume even a condensed sketch of its history for the general reader, much more a critical examination of its products for the student, and a descriptive account of characteristics and marks for the use of the collector. For this art is the oldest, the longest, the most widely diffused of all human arts. It has been used by every tribe of man, savage and civilized. Probably the first fire which Adam kindled on a clay soil taught him to make earthenware, and his descendants have ever since used the art he discovered. Its known history begins with the brickmakers on the plain of Shinar, and every year of this nineteenth century after Christ adds material for new pages.

Book excerpt: H. Leslie Moody and Frances Johnson Moody never owned the company outright, but their dreams shaped North Carolina's Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. and drove it forward to the satisfaction of an emerging, increasingly modern post-World War II America. Hyalyn's reputation for high quality led to its association with top designers like Michael and Rosemary Lax, Eva Zeisel, Georges Briard, Charles Leslie Fordyce, Herbert Cohen, Erwin Kalla, and Esta Brodey. Before moving to North Carolina in 1945, ceramic engineer and designer Less Moody prepared to organize and operate Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. From Zanesville's Mosaic Tile Company, Ohio State University's ceramics department, Love Field Pottery, Abingdon Pottery, San José Potteries, and Rookwood Pottery, he gained expertise in clay formulation, glaze chemistry, product design, plant operation, project planning, advertising, and employee management. With the aid of investors, his dream came true when, in 1946, Hyalyn's first lamp bases and flower containers emerged from the shop's tunnel kiln. Thoroughly documented and illustrated with 425 images, hyalyn: America's Finest Porcelain is a complete history of Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc., and its successors, Hyalyn Cosco, Hyalyn, Ltd., and Vanguard Studios.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Pottery and Porcelain for American Collectors The very few years during which public interest has been growing in this country to an appreciation of fictile wares could scarcely suffice to bring forth an exhaustive and detailed literature. Our public are just awaking to a comprehension of the Old World's advance and superiority in arts which we have yet scarcely attempted; but they have in their graves the honored dust of ages: and experience, with them, is of a thousand years; our history may be one in which the arts shall not be measured by this toilsome time. In collating these pages the author has had recourse to those authorities of the Old World which are there regarded as standard, and as it may be of interest to the reader to make a further excursion in this domain, a few authors' names may assist his journey among the books. In the field of Ancient Pottery, Birch's history is complete, although this is not a part absolute of ceramic art; still it is essential if we choose to follow its interesting historical progress.
