A well researched work on a very talented Staffordshire artist, designer and potter who developed and utilized design styles and new technology during the 1880's to 1920's. Perhaps best known for his Morris Ware range of Art Pottery for Sampson Hancock & Sons and his Portrait Tiles of leading dignitaries in the late 19th century. Over 120 items of Morris ware vases and shapes are illustrated along with original design sketches from George's sketchbooks . A combination of sculpting and depth of glaze was used by Cartlidge to achieve a photographic effect on his picture tiles. Included in the book are pages from the tile catalogue of Sherwin & Cotton of 1892 ( George Cartlidge became a partner in this firm) and details of the modelling and production of portrait tiles are included. The section on Pottery fired by Cartlidge in his Rudyard studio illustrates over 30 items along with marks, and the book ends with a section on his paintings. |

Blue ---- - Arnold & Dorothy Kowalsky.
1999. 688 pages. 1,719 printed marks. Lists of patterns etc.
Hardback. d/w. An amazingly useful and greatly underestimated work of reference that compliments and adds to the existing publications on marks with an emphasis on patterns. The book contains the following sections 1) American Potters & Patterns pages 21-83 2) English Potters and Patterns pages 84-632 3) European Potters & Patterns 633-656. The English (should be British as it includes Scottish etc.) section provides numerous new marks and most importantly the most flexible means to locate an item by its pattern name, potter, partnership, registration number or shape (with a separate listing of jugs and parian wares). The collation of published and unpublished material into alphabetical and chronological appendices , a painstaking work by the authors, makes for easy reference. These enormous appendices of patterns etc. are what sets this book apart from previous volumes and provides a mass of material for identification. Although produced to cover blue & white transfer patterns,flow blue,tea leaf and Ironstone designs it naturally covers a wider range of wares. |
