COLLECTORS CATALOGUE -Mitchell L.
2004. 240 pages.160 colour & 80 full page black & white
plates. Hardback. Slight wear wrapper Based on the Meissen trade catalogue produced in 1904 that illustrated over 1,200 figures and ornamental items in production at that time. The original photographs are reproduced in the 80 black & white plates with added comments and notes and further illustrations of the figures in colour. The models are mainly copies of designs originating from the 18th century Meissen models. An essential work for dating, attributing and restoring Meissen figures and ornamental wares and distinguishing them from the mid 18th century originals or copies by other factories. The original catalogue that this book was based on was sold by us on the opening day of a London ceramic fair some years ago. |

FIGURES 1730-1775: The Kaendler Period -
Adams Y. 2001. 208 pages. 305 colour & 220 b/w illust.Hardback.
A new publication on 18th century Meissen figures by Yvonne Adams,who expands on the original 1987 book entitled Meissen Portrait Figures by herself and her late husband Len.

Including over 240 extra colour illustrations, with original engravings used as sources for design also illustrated in b/w. With so many Meissen figures reproduced during the 19th and 20th centuries, and the difficulty of dating a figure or group by its mark, one sure pointer to dating is to understand the variations in the colours used. Mrs. Adams uses her knowledge and many years experience to provide a colourful and important guide to these highly desirable and extremely valuable ceramic works of art. |

| E427) PATE-SUR-PATE
1849-1992. Bumpus B.1992. 320 pages
150 black & white & 38 colour plates.d/w. Fine. The most charming and distinct porcelain decoration of the nineteenth century' is how pate-sur-pate was described by the ceramist Willaim Burton in 1902. Its cameo-like effect was achieved by applying successive layers of thin slip in delicate gradations and by fine carving with modelling-tools, finished off with a brush. The process, which was time consuming, was first tried at the Imperial manufactory of Sevres about 1849. Some examples were shown at the Great Exhibition in London in 1852 and quickly attracted attention.The technique remained a French monopoly until the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 when work at Sevres was brought to a stop, and one of the manufactory's best artists, Marc Louis Solon, came to England to work for Minton's. Includes informationm on smaller concerns and individual artists from Albert Dammouse, Limoge, Taxal Doat, C.H. Pillivuyt, George Jones, Villeroy & Boch, Rorstrand, Lois Rhead and many more. This is the first comprehensive survey of the technique of pate-sur-pate in Europe and America. It is recognised as the standard work on this subject throughout the World. Published at £ 75.00 in 1992. Fine as new copies of this book exclusive to us at £ 35.00 |
