EX45) A. & E. KEELING. Formerly Factory X - NEW in STOCK Barratt J. 2010. 142 pages. 960 colour illustrations. Softback covers. The name of Keeling has been known for some time but marks bearing this name are few and far between. Two marks have been recorded one from a service discovered in 1961 by Geoffrey Godden and another in 2001 by Michael Berthoud. The author, Jean Barratt, now has the 1961 example in her collection. These factory X pieces bear a strong resemblance to New Hall hard paste wares and Jean has spent 10 years researching these porcelains and produced this illustrated pattern book. Half the illustrations come from Michael Berthoud's and Geoffrey Godden's extensive collections and the remainder provided by Jean in her 10 year study. The patterns and shapes in this book date from around 1784 to 1807. Price £ 35.00

Hardback.d/w. Only 350 copies printed. Evidence gathered for this book and used alongside scientific analysis has enabled the author to identify a number of things including the following :- 1) The creation of the Bow Factory as part of a wider scheme conceived in 1727 2) The people responsible for the sophisticated technology essential to the development of the various porcelain recipes at Bow. 3) The manufacturing periods of the different types including the "A" marked group.

EX32) MACHIN. PORCELAIN & EARTHENWARES. Including a Partial Reconstruction of the Machin Pattern Book - Bill Thom & Philip Miller. Privately printed. May 2008. 179 pages. 980 colour illustrations. Hardback. Wrapper.     Michael Berthoud gave us the first gilmpse of the quality and range of wares produced by Joseph Machin in Burslem in his bulletin and now comes a full story of Machin and their products following the many years research by Philip Miller & Bill Thom. The wares dating mostly from the early 1800's to 1830's are shown in great detail and comparisons are made between similar shapes and patterns from other major manufactures of the time such as Minton, Spode, Daniel, New Hall etc. Very few pieces during the Joseph Machin period were marked and thus the shape comparisons and reconstruction of the pattern book, which illustrates nearly 450 patterns, is so important. An essential and unmissable book for anyone interested in ceramics of the period 1800 to 1840. LAST 70 COPIES PRICE £ 30.00

EX33) PEOPLE & POTS - Lockett T. Published April 2008. Limited to 250 copies. 240 pages. 61 colour & 5 b/w illustrations. Softback. Only available from us Worldwide.         Terry's book has now arrived and it provides a refreshing examination of his life in the ceramic world and elsewhere. Although there is much to learn regarding pottery and porcelain from the book, in following Terry's career there is much to enjoy and entertain such as the interview by Simon Spero in 1987 in "Desert Island Pots". In the style of Desert Island Discs Terry is asked to choose 8 pots to take to the island ( all illustrated here) and then Simon posed numerous questions similar to the Roy Plumley radio show. Terry's lecture at Keele in August 1988 "The Next 25 Years" I found particularly stimulating and should not be missed. A book to educate, entertain and maybe rethink your opinions on some areas of the ceramic world. PRICE £ 19.90
