The Collector's Handbook to Keramics of the Renaissance and Modern Periods
Containing several hundred illustrations, some in colour, of rare, curious, and choice examples of Pottery and Porcelain from the earliest times to the beginning of the nineteenth century
NEW EDITION, REVISED AND EDITED BY H. M. CUNDALL, I.S.O., F.S.A.
Royal 8vo, cloth extra, top edge gilt, to range with the same author’s “Marks and Monograms on Pottery”
This important book, which was long out of print and scarce, is not reprinted because of its rarity, but because it is an indispensable companion to the same author’s “Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain.”
As originally published in two volumes at 4 guineas, with the examples reproduced by the Woodbury process, it was an inconvenient book for reference, the examples being separated from the text. In this edition the illustrations are all printed in the letterpress, and are seen in conjunction with the history and description of the different potteries.
The book is not a bare reprint, but has been thoroughly edited, in many cases new or additional specimen pieces given, and the references made to the latest edition of the “Marks and Monograms,” so that the book is of the utmost use for the present day.
This work was undertaken by Mr. H. M. Cundall, I.S.O., F.S.A., and no pains have been spared to make it worthy to be in the hands of every collector as well as every library.
