The Collector’s Book of English Country Pottery by Peter C.D. Brears

Description

This is the first book to deal exclusively with the actual products of the country potters who worked in England from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The majority of the wares included are described for the first time, including such varied items as modelled houses, moneyboxes, salting pans, candleholders, whistles and a large range of kitchen wares.

After advising the collector on the care of their collection, the author gives a brief account on the history and techniques of the country pottery tradition, continuing with a number of specialised chapters, describing the function and distribution of the various wares produced.

Advice is given on how to attribute pottery to its maker by the appearance of its materials and by any stylistic features.

The essential book for anyone interested in building a collection of Country Pottery.
