Book Description

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.
