Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book English Pottery and Porcelain written by Edward A. Downman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Though the collecting of pottery and porcelain has been disparagingly referred to as a "mania" or a "fad," yet even its worst detractors cannot deny that it is an interesting one. Nor is it without historic or educational value, to say nothing of the fact that if made with care a collection may be regarded in the light of a profitable investment. Prices for genuine pieces are yearly hardening, and for even what was once regarded as very common earthenware - lustre, for instance - three times as much as was possible ten years ago can now be obtained. These prices are likely to be still further enhanced, as by the efflux of Time such fragile articles are from their very nature bound to get scarcer. The "craze," or whatever else it may be called, for collecting china has had a considerable literature of its own, though chiefly, it must be admitted, for the comparatively well-to-do and the more or less experienced collector. In the past the less wealthy and the inexperienced have suffered from a dearth of handbooks that would help them. The aim of the present volume is to supply the omission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
