by Bernard Watney, Faber & Faber Limited, London, 1963/1979.
Over 350 black-and-white photographs with identifying captions supplement a rich narrative in this rare out-of-print book.  ”Destined to become a standard work, this is a major contribution to ceramic literature.”  Profusely illustrated in black-and-white, this in-depth text provides a definitive study of English blue and white porcelain of the 18th century.
Several hundred examples of English blue and white porcelain are pictured in black-and-white with identifying captions.  Examples of most English manufactories are discussed in depth with accompanying representative examples of their wares.  This text covers by chapter: Cobalt; Bow; Limehouse, Lund’s Bristol and Worcester; Longton Hall, Liverpool China Factories; Derby; Lowestoft; Caughley; Plymouth, Bristol and New Hall; Bibliography; Index; Monochrome Plates.  Given the extremely rich narrative and extensive photographed examples of this ware, this rare text is an invaluable reference, and belongs in the permanent reference library of the collector, dealer, or historian of antique English blue and white porcelain.
