Not only is it the latest and most up-to-date work but it includes types not previously studied and extends the range of wares into the early years of the nineteenth century. It is a unique overall study. The number of instructive illustrations exceeds seven hundred, including helpful comparison photographs and details of identifying features - foot rims, handle forms, manufacturing characteristics and marks. Apart from introductory chapters on collecting blue and white and on the introduction and development of this popular mode of decoration, this unique coverage comprises details of over twenty distinctive makes, including relatively newly researched eighteenth century factories at Isleworth, Limehouse and Vauxhall. The inclusion of the several post-1790 factories covers new ground. The section on fakes and reproductions will also prove instructive and helpful. This Godden study of our so popular and collectable blue and white porcelain compliments all previous works, updating and greatly expanding the coverage and introducing a large selection of new illustrations of both rare and more available specimens. It will be of great interest and assistance to the new collector as well as to the advanced specialist - a vital tool for auctioneers and the trade alike. Price Guide.

A SELECTION FROM THE GODDEN REFERENCE COLLECTION
Geoffrey Godden
There follows details of the original 1985 book and an exclusive illustrated article updating it.

An illustration from the book (reduced size)
New Hall porcelain decorated by Fidelle Duvivier.

Published in 1985 - 432 pages. 358 black & white illustrations. 32 Colour plates. Dust wrapper. Card cased.

This splendid volume provides everyone interested in English porcelain with a unique opportunity to benefit from the wealth of knowledge, experience, and devotion that Geoffrey Godden has put into assembling his internationally renowned Reference Collection.
The book sets out to provide a lasting record of part of this Collection and in doing so breaks new ground in ceramic literature. Three examples are selected from each of the factories or decorators and each piece is illustrated both in colour and black and white, often several times to highlight individual features. Such detailed illustration, combined with the informative text gives the reader an insight into these English porcelains, never before (and perhaps never again) available in a ceramic publication.
Geoffrey Godden describes the pieces in his Collection as 'friends', and his infectious enthusiasm makes 'Eighteenth-Century English Porcelain' as enjoyable as it is informative.
