GEOFFREY GODDEN

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ENGLISH PORCELAIN A SELECTION FROM THE GODDEN REFERENCE COLLECTION Geoffrey Godden FRSA An Update Geoffrey Godden has contributed the following comments and updating,regarding his relatively little-known but novel reference book in which he selected three interesting pieces from some thirty-five different types of eighteenth century English porcelain that were originally included in his unique reference collection on display at his former Worthing gallery. Most of the pieces featured in this well-illustrated book are now on long loan to the Potteries Museum at Hanley. These pieces are therefore now available for students to see and handle - by prior appointment with the museum authorities. Now that Geoffrey Godden has retired from the antique trade his reference collection is no longer available at Worthing, although this book forms a permanent record of many examples and relates the circumstance and reason for their purchase. As Geoffrey states in his introduction to this 1985 book:- "The reasons for my choice will be various; key pieces that are especially instructive or helpful in identifying other products of that factory; pieces that are highly typical of their type or, more importantly, porcelains that give me great pleasure. Examples will certainly not be chosen merely because they are fashionable, or rare, or valuable, or in mint state." Now the author adds some important updates or revised attributions to the illustrations in this very personal book, copies of which we can still supply at the attractive price of £30.
