Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armorial porcelains comprised the output of most European ceramics factories in the 18th and 19th Centuries in response to the large quantity of armorial porcelain services that were being imported from China bearing the coats of arms and crests of aristocratic families. Whereas these armorial services have been identified and covered for most porcelain manufactories the information relevant to their production by the two relatively short-lived Nantgarw and Swansea China Works has not been addressed as a theme until now. As an integral component of the holistic forensic appraisal of porcelain, a functional and decorative artwork manifestly part of our cultural heritage and its ongoing preservation , the recording and identification of such artefacts is material for the future establishment of a database of factory production . The Nantgarw and Swansea factories only operated for a limited period in the second decade of the 19th Century and their porcelains were much appreciated for their high quality and desirability by Georgian households. Today, examples are to be found in many museums and ceramics collections and continue to excite the interest of specialists and the general public . This text provides the first comprehensive assessment of armorial porcelains from these two factories and the methodology and procedure for the identification of unknown armorial bearings and crests is illustrated; individual bearings are discussed in detail and existing incorrect assignments in the literature are re-appraised. The difficulties in attribution of armorial heraldic achievements that are only minimally depicted are considered and directions for further studies using historical documentation are invoked. This book therefore fills a currently existing gap in the ceramics literature of the 19th Century.

Download or read book The Art of the English Trade Gun in North America written by Nathan E. Bender and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symbolic ornamentation inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art is a long-standing Western tradition. The author explores the designs of 18th century English gunsmiths who engraved classical ornamental patterns on firearms gifted or traded to American Indians. A system of allegory is found that symbolized the Americas of the New World in general, and that enshrined the American Indian peoples as "noble savages." The same allegorical context was drawn upon for symbols of national liberty in the early American republic. Inadvertently, many of the symbolic designs used on the trade guns strongly resonated with several Native American spiritual traditions.
Download or read book The Pendock Barry Porcelain Service written by Rachel L. Denyer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heraldic devices first appeared on ceramics in Western Europe from the sixteenth century onwards; however, it was not until the 1760s that British ceramic manufactories began executing commissions for services displaying heraldic devices for the gentry. This book explores the rise of the new gentry class and the market for armorial services through the case study of the Pendock Barry service. The case study is presented from three angles. It looks at Pendock Neale Barry (1757–1833) who commissioned the service, then considers the evidence for attributing the service to the Derby factory during the period 1805–1810, and finally looks at the evidence supporting an attribution of the decoration to Billingsley. The case study sets out a novel approach to understanding heraldic devices on ceramics by bringing together the disciplines of detailed genealogical research, cultural knowledge, and chemical analytical compositional data. This multidisciplinary approach enables the armorial services to be considered and understood through the lens of heritage, culture, and science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairbairn's Crests of the Leading Families in Great Britain and Ireland and Their Kindred in Other Lands They addressed the imagination by a more direct channel and in a more striking manner than words; while at one glance they re called the most important events in the History of persons. Families and nations. Their immediate relations to war and to the honorable distinctions arising from it, connected them with the deeds and manners of former times. Exhibited on the shields and vestments of warriors, they also adorned the most splendid apparel of peace; and were often transferred to more durable materials, to perpetuate the memory of those who bore them. They formed the chief orna ments in the palaces of the great, were chosen by artists of various professions to embellish their respective works. Were set up in courts of judicature, and impressed on the public money. Thus, to the utmost extent of their application, did Armorial Bearings become the symbolical language of Europe. It was not until the time of the Crusades that the Crest or cognizance was generally adopted. Originally the crest was an ornament chie y worn by Kings, Knights, and warriors. It was made either of feathers, wood, leather. Or metal, and secured by the wreath, a parti - colored fastening, consisting of the principal metal and color of the shield entwined. At first these badges were placed on the summit of the helmet, to render them more plainly visible; or on the arm; but in later times were transferred to the shield or armor. The crest served to distinguish the bearers in battle, and as a mark for their followers or supporters. Being no longer thus borne, the art of the painter, sculptor, or engraver must be had recourse to, gracefully and peacefully to represent on the precious metals. On wood, canvas. Stone. Paper, or other material, what was more rudely and terribly displayed in the times of the past. Armorial Bearings may be, and frequently are, rendered with a view to general effect.
