THE PRICE GUIDE TO POT-LIDS AND OTHER UNDERGLAZE COLOUR PRINTS ON POTTERY by A. Ball, The Antique Collector’s Club, Suffolk, 1970.
This rare out-of-print book is the most complete work available on the subject of pot lids – lids which were put on top of pots. These lids were often decorated with a picture descriptive of the contents of that pot.
'It is generally accepted that the firm of F. & R. Pratt & Co. of Fenton in Staffordshire were primarily responsible for the production of pot-lids as we know them today. Whether this is true or not is still in doubt, because there is certain information available which shows that other manufacturers were also in production contemporary with Pratt’s, not the least of which were Mayer & Co., of Burstem and the Cauldon Pottery Co. of Shelton.' This book covers approximately 600 different covers – their name, maker and date when known, and price information (in British pounds at date of publication). This book is a collector’s item in itself and an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of decorated ceramics. (China, Pottery)
