'English pottery reflects a wide range of tastes, varying from the naïve and often comic medieval jug to Wedgwood’s jasperware and Victorian Staffordshire portrait figures.' Given 372 color and black-and-white photographs with identifying captions, this early out-of-print book will assist the reader in identifying the various types and makers of antique English pottery. (Porcelain, China)
A COLLECTOR’S HISTORY OF ENGLISH POTTERY by Griselda Lewis, The Viking Press, N.Y., 1969.
This text is comprehensive in historical scope, treating English pottery from the Stone Age to the 20th century. The author 'has avoided the usual over-emphasis on rare museum pieces, and she describes a large number of lesser pieces still to be found by enterprising amateurs….[She] includes descriptions of early British pottery, Delftware and slipware, salt-glazed stoneware and Astbury and Whieldon ware. The author discusses and illustrates the work of the Wood family of Burslem, the cream-colored earthenware of the eighteenth century, Castleford ware and ‘stone china’, the underglaze colored ware of Pratt, and the enameled figures of Walton and Sherratt. She also details a wide sample of popular nineteenth century ware. The clear identifications and crisp descriptions, accompanied by 372 illustrations, many in color, will be of great value to the collector and student.'
