For all who own British antique blue-printed pottery this book is essential reading.

With over 1,000 illustrations (including 12 pages in full colour) each giving full details of maker (where known) and year of manufacture et cetera, it provides readers with the opportunity to identify their favourite pieces.

In addition it contains essays by thirteen of the leading authorities on these ceramics which describe how the wares were made and marketed in all parts of the world, details about each of the manufacturers (including illustrations of the marks used on each item), and information about the patterns used and the sources from which they were derived.

Thanks to a generous subsidy from Christie's of South Kensington the book can be obtained at the low price of £5.00 plus £2.50 postage within UK, total £7.50, from:
