With appendixes dealing with finial types, strainers and some continental teapots which offer traps for the unwary. With illustrations in full colour this book will be of interest to collectors of all forms of British teawares, not just teapots, because of the vast range of patterns that will be published. Similar in style to the earlier anthology of teapots but with new illustrations and 2000 teapots all in colour. Collectors of specific types of wares such as Basalt, Lustre, blue and white, stoneware etc. should find enough freshly illustrated examples to jusify the purchase. This is now, with out any doubt, the standard work on British Teapots.

B1063) NEW TITLE. A Dictionary of CERAMIC ARTISTS by Vega Wilkinson. 2007. 240 pages. 200 b/w illustrations & 32 pages of colour plates. Hardback.. Following on from her book on Spode-Copeland Vega Wikinson provides us with what many in the past have suggested and requested; a work on ceramic artists in dictionary format.. Vega has had access to the Minton archives for some time, and a lot of important information was gleaned from this source along with information on artists from Royal Doulton, Royal Worcester, Coalport etc. etc. etc. The 90 or so entries for artists from her earlier work on Copeland obviously appear here but in many cases these entries are both enlarged and updated. The section on Outside Decorators and Retailers is particularly welcome and has its own introduction ,as does the section on Artists and Book Illustrators Used as Source Material by ceramic painters. This is the type of research that could go on forever unless the author decides to publish, and does not of course cover every artist mentioned elsewhere. It does however provide the best available detailed record of our ceramic artists in one publication and provides further proof that art on porcelain is every bit as fine and desirable as art on canvas and often far less expensive.	£ 45.00   Buy Now Buy it now in our Shop

B1013) The Origin and Devolpment of BOW PORCELAIN 1730-1747 including the Participation of the Roal Society, Andrew Duche and the American Contribution- Daniels P. 2007. 364 pages. 48 colour & 51 b/w illust. Hardback.d/w. Only 350 copies printed. IN STOCK. It is rare for a book that challenges the accepted facts and theories surrounding one of our most important 18th Century ceramic factories to appear without having been discussed and digested by many in the ceramic fraternity before reaching publication. Pat Daniels has been studying 18th century porcelain for over 40 years and traded as Parkside Antiques, a well known Melbourne firm of porcelain specialists. She returned to England in 1996 to study and research the early years of Bow porcelain production and her research has led to her uncovering a great deal of previously unseen documentation regarding those involved with the production of Bow porcelain and their use of the Cherokee or uneka clay from America. With the help of Dr. Ross Ramsay's analysis of porcelain bodies (which a number of points made within this book are based upon) Mrs Daniels suggests changing or making some new attributions, including fresh ideas on the 'A' marked porcelains. The facts uncovered by her from the Royal Society documents lead her to make a compelling case for earlier production of porcelain at Bow amongst many others. Mrs. Daniels has unearthed extremely relevant research material, and although some will disagree with a number of her conclusions and theories there is no doubt this book deserves to be read, as will any subsequent response to her research and conclusions. It is beyond my capabilities to make any further judgements as there are so many points raised throughout the book and I still have much to read and digest.	£ 50.00   Buy Now Buy it now in our Shop

The standard work on these important and highly decorative Daniel porcelains with detailed information on the patterns and artists. This book links together three major strands, namely the surviving Daniel manuscripts ( in private hands ) a surviving design book of ornamental wares and collections of Daniel porcelain both in private hands and in national museums. Still the only full publication on this porcelain factory who's wares were often attributed to other factories such as Spode (especially as Daniel decorated Spode blanks and sold them back to Spode), Coalport, Davenport, Minton, Ridgway and many more. Daniel wares are often associated with extremely fine decoration in particular of flowers and artists such as Thomas Steel and William Pollard were employed at the Stoke China Works.

B359) ARTISTS' & CRAFTSMEN OF THE 19th CENTURY DERBY CHINA FACTORY - Manchip D. 2004. 196 pages. 264 colour illustrations. Hardback. d/w. The author's six years of research have vastly expanded the available knowledge on the Artists ,Modellers and Gilders at Derby and elsewhere along with fresh illustrations of their work during the 19th century. Perhaps the best way to illustrate this is to take an entry from the recent book on Derby by John Twitchett and an entry from this book on the artist "Daniel Lucas Senior." Mr. Manchip provides evidence to show that Lucas arrived at Derby some 6 years earlier than previously accepted along with other new facts and information. He then follows the careers of Lucas's two sons Daniel Junior and William, again providing new evidence on dates and factories during their careers. This book reveals new facts regarding 114 painters, gilders and modellers who worked at the Derby factory between 1800 and 1848 and at other factories such as Coalport, Minton, Davenport, Ridgway, Alcocks, Grainger, Royal Worcester etc. An important work that will further the ability to date and attribute wares to a particular artist, gilder or modeller.

A comprehensive and revealing account of the fine porcelain and the artists involved such as James Rouse, Edwin Prince, W.E. Mosley, Harry Sampson Hancock and many more. The author's research reveals a wealth of information on artists, marks, pattern books, pattern numbers, recipes etc. etc. For example the book reveals the painters and gilders marks used by H.S. Hancock on unsigned items during his forty years at the factory. Copper plates taken from Nottingham road to King street included one given to the British Museum which turned out to be engraved with Rockingham Porcelain marks and Worcester porcelain marks raising a question of were these marks put to use. Robert Bloor's successors closed the famous Nottingham Road factory in 1848 and it was then that six employees at Nottingham Road, including Sampson Hancock ,commenced manucturing in King Street in 1849. This factory continued under various partnerships until 1935. Between 1849 and 1876 it was in fact the only porcelain factory in Derby. The Derby Crown Porcelain company did not commence manufacturing in Osmaston road until 1876 and later became the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain company.

This is the first comprehensive monograph of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Pillement (1728­1808), painter and designer, known to wider audiences mostly for his exquisite and delicate landscapes but whose importance in the history of art lies primarily in the engravings done after his drawings and their influence in spreading the Rococo style, and particularly the taste for chinoiserie , throughout Europe. This lavishly illustrated book reproduces hundreds of Pillement's drawings, prints and paintings (done in various media, from watercolours through pastels to oils), from public and private collections worldwide, many of which are published for the first time.

Maps. Hardback. Dust wrapper. It is a pleasure to see published a detailed illustrated history of one of the lesser known but nevertheless important manufacturers of porcelain from the first half of the 19th century. The wares are often highly decorated with rich gilding or transfer decoration such as the chinoiserie designs. Many of us own examples of unknown porcelain particularly of London shape and of good quality decoration, a number of us, like myself will now be able attribute examples to Rathbone rather than possibly Coalport etc. Perhaps lacking a little in continuity and detail in captions to illustrations but altogether a well researched publication with large illustrations of good quality which is to be commended.	£ 45.00

A further publication on Rockingham by the same authors as the 1983 work bearing a similar title.
