“To the amateur as well as to the expert collector, the book, with its clear definitions of the peculiarities differentiating the work of one potter from another, and its wealth of illustrations. some of them in colour, of the treasures in museums and private collections, will be a mine of wealth; but it will also appeal forcibly to the antiquarian and historian, for the authors have made a point of tracing the condition between the progress of their art and the advance of civilization.... Especially fascinating is the chapter on the passing of the Elerses—the predecessors of Wedgwood.”—Int. Studio.
