STUDIO POTTERY IN BRITAIN - Jones
J. Publishing . 2007.256 pages. 200 colour illustrations. Hardback.
Wrapper Jeffrey Jones examines the changing ways that pottery has been perceived by the press and the public and discusses the differing approaches to the craft, such as production throwing, the making of individual pieces, shapes and forms and types of decoration. A variety of sources are presented as evidence, including pottery sales tickets, catalogues, art journals, photographs, letters and recipe books. The book takes us effortlessly through each stage of the evolution of Studio pottery blending sharp and large colour photo's of pots with archive material to good effect. The well known and influential potters and firms are found from Vyse, Martin Brothers, Leach, Cardew, Coper, Crowan, Ravenscroft, Haile, Ewenny, Casson etc. But mixed with the work of others less known and with a liberal sprinkling of current potters and their work of the last 10 years. What at first glance appears to be a pictorial guide to 100 years of studio pottery offers much more and will, I'm sure, soon be hailed as a standard work on the subject. |

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 The collation of published and unpublished material into alphabetical and chronological appendices , a painstaking work by the authors, makes for easy reference.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. |
