 T90) ISLEWORTH POTTERY & PORCELAIN - E.C.C. & Museum of London. 2003. 120 pages. 170 colour illustrations. Soft covers.
After excavation of several tons of shards more evidence for Isleworth porcelain comes to light and also some exciting finds of pottery, with details of the creamware and slipware discovered on site. Isleworth is now confirmed as the London manufacturer of creamware and slipware. Includes numerous new shapes and patterns in porcelain including simple transfer and painted designs such as fisherman, Chantilly Sprig, Gilliflower plus shapes similar to Worcester & other factories such as sauce boats and butterboats and much more. One of the most important publications of this year and rushed out for the exhibition at Stockspring antiques last week. If like me you were unable to attend the exhibition, the quality of the illustrations will go some way to make amends.
