It is trimly potted, often of extreme thinness, and lighter in weight than porcelain of the same period. This eighteenth-century ware brought Staffordshire pottery from the kitchens into the drawing rooms.' This copiously illustrated book is the first work to be devoted to Staffordshire salt-glazed ware – a delicate and highly collectible class of pottery that, in its lightness and fine potting, closely rivaled porcelain in the 18th century. THE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO STAFFORDSHIRE SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE by Arnold R. Mountford, Barrie & Jenkins, London, 1971. Eight color plates and 244 halftones picture hundreds of examples of this ware complete with in-depth captions. 'Staffordshire salt-glazed ware, widely exported, established an overseas trade that was to persist when the cream-ware body superseded salt-glaze - a trade continued in fine bone china today.' This scholarly study covers by chapter: Origins of Staffordshire; Brown Salt-Glaze; Drab Ware; Salt-Glazed Blocks; White Salt-Glazed Stoneware; Scratch Blue and Littler-Wedgwood Blue; Enameled and Printed Salt-Glazed Stoneware; Salt-Glazed Figures; Extracts from the Sales-Account Book and Crate Book of Thomas and John Wedgwood; and British and American Museums where Staffordshire Salt-Glazed Stoneware is Represented; Bibliography; and Index. If you are looking for a pictorial guide for the identification of this ware – one that is supplemented by in-depth narrative – then you will want to add this text to the shelf of your permanent reference library. 6.4 in. x 10 in. hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 88 pages plus extensive photo plates.

This large mug has a black transfer of a deer print on one side and a hunting scene on the other side. Condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks or repairs. You could use the mug for its intended purpose, ale! It is possible that the mug was made in either Staffordshire or Sunderland around 1830. Take a look at all of the photos for the details.  Teapot, 5.75 inches to the top of the finial and 9.75 inches from the handle to the spout. This lovely London shaped teapot is hand-painted with information about the artist. Her name, date of birth and dwelling place are on one side of the teapot and a selection from the Bible is on the other side. Although the teapot shows the date of Elizabeth Phillipson's birth, 1804, the teapot was probably decorated around 1820, perhaps for a special birthday, engagement or wedding. The teapot is in as found antique condition. There is a chunk missing from a corner of the lid, a hairline in the handle and chips on the side of the spout. Still, the teapot looks beautiful. Take a look at all of the photos for the details.

CHAMBERLAIN-WORCESTER PORCELAIN 1788-1852 by Geoffrey A. Godden, Magna Books, 1982/1992. This book provides a comprehensive survey of Chamberlain-Worcester porcelain and covers by chapter: General Survey of Marks; The Chamberlains as retailers and decorators; Chamberlain’s pre-1800 Porcelain; Chamberlain’s Products 1800-1820; Chamberlain’s Products 1820-1852; The Chamberlain Artists, Modellers and Gilders; The Chamberlain Ornamental Forms; The Chamberlain Patterns; Appendix: A Day of the Factory, 1843; Selected Bibliography; and Index. 'The revelation of a considerably wider range of eighteenth-century Chamberlain wares than hitherto realized will surprise and delight many collectors, as will the sheer quality and variety of nineteenth-century Chamberlain wares – still reasonably plentiful, often at quite modest cost. Chamberlain-Worcester ranges from sumptuous examples made for royalty to modest everyday teawares originally priced at under two pounds for a complete service; from grand ornamental porcelains to earthenware tiles; from huge dinner or banqueting services to kettle-handles. One of its leading characteristics is superb decoration, originating from the early specialty of the factory’s founder. The chronological account of the Chamberlain factory and its output, superbly illustrated by photographs in the text throughout, is followed by a descriptive list of Chamberlain decorators, and a comprehensive list of the thousands of patterns introduced by the factory – a unique record. A final chapter is devoted to the types of Chamberlain decorative wares, in all their great variety.' This is an invaluable out-of-print book, which belongs, in the permanent reference library of the collector, dealer, or historian of English decorative porcelain wares.

The combination of history and catalogue detail, together with over 200 illustrations, enables the reader to appreciate fully Chelsea’s achievement, and to identify individual pieces. Chelsea collectors, English porcelain enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful objects will all appreciate this well-documented record of an art form that fascinates by its fragility, scarcity and brilliance.'

It may be painted in enamel colors or transfer printed, or both; sprigged with relief ornament or enriched with any of several lustre processes. Glaze and gilding are fascinating, complex studies that aid in placing a problem piece. Each of these subjects has its own clear-cut detailed references in this book, heavy type indicating where further information may be sought. Always the aim has been to make matters simple, straightforward, factual.'

Jug, 4 inches. The pattern has a charming cupid print on one side and a verse on the other. Cupid is ready to stab a beehive with an arrow. There must be some symbolism here! The verse is a drinking rhyme, but not much drink would fit in this jug! The dark orange print is over the glaze. The jug is being sold as found. The spout has been glued back on and there is wear (heavy) to the rim. There are also small chips to both the rim and the base. Appearance, however, is quite good. The pattern is rare and delightful. The jug was probably made around 1820-1830 in Staffordshire. Take a look at all of the photos for the details. The jug would make a wonderful Valentine's gift.  The stunning photography in this early out-of-print book sets it apart as one of the better identification guides to antique English pottery and porcelain.

'The author’s story of 100 years of Derby porcelain production covers the entire period of the famous factory’s changing fortunes from the time of the purchase of a site in 1756 down to its death knell in 1848. Inevitably the author has devoted the major part of his narrative and illustrated examples to the latter half of the eighteenth century when the factory’s prestige was at its highest, employing some of the finest craftsmen and artists of the day. The successive influences of materials and techniques from Meissen and Sevres are assessed and clearly exemplified in the 170 color and black-and-white photographs. Ample space is devoted to the splendid table ware with the naturalistic landscape and floral designs for which the factory was renowned, and to the single figures and groups which are prized by collectors everywhere.' 'This book provides authoritative information on marks, on pastes and glazes, and on the careers and distinctive styles of the most prominent artists, decorators and figure makers employed by Derby. Among contemporary material included are entries from the pattern books and the enlightening letters written between 1777 and 1797 by Joseph Lygo, manager of the Derby showroom in London.

A Brief History of Royal Dux The factory was founded in 1853 and located in the Austrian town of dux now known as duchcov located north West of Prague in Czech Republic. The factory operated for a few years using raw materials from its surroundings producing utility ceramic‘s. In 1860 Eduard Eichler a experienced model-drawer turned the factory into E.Eichler Thonwaren-Fabrik. The company produced mainly terracotta, faience and majolica the designs were based on pieces from Copenhagen, Worcester and Sevres. In 1862 he also bought a small factory in Selty near Ceska Lipa. In 1878 the Eichler firm was awarded Silver Medal at the exhibition in Paris. Edward Eichler suffered a heart attack and died on January 1st 1887, his wife ‘Marie Amalie and his son Anton Franz Eichler took over ownership of the company. The private company still owned by the Eichler’s changed into a stock-holding company which in 1898 became to be known as Duxer Porzellan - Manufaktur, A-G with the main office in Berlin. The factory in Selty was liquidated . This new company then bought a porcelain factory (Porzellanfabrik Fasold & Eichel) in Blankenheim (Thuringia) near Weimar. The factory now started to produce porcelain, and also the traditional pieces. In 1900 the well known mark was used a pink triangle with ROYAL DUX BOHEMIA around an acorn. Beneath the acorn there is an E which stands for Eichler (acorn is used because Eichel means acorn).In the early 1900’s thanks to modeller Alois Hampel the factory was awarded the Grand Prix prize at the world exhibition in St Louis in 1904 and the silver medal at Milano in 1906 and the gold medal at the exhibition in Liberec, Bohemia. At this period the company employed 500 workers and the facility had five round kilns and seventeen muffle kilns as well as its own steam and power plant. Representatives were stationed in cities around Europe which was a solid base for international trade as products were mainly exported and the company had trade connections with all Europe, Russia, and even North America. The success of the company was disrupted by the First World War(1914-1918). Due to financial difficulties in 1918 the factory in Blankenheim Germany was sold. Due to financial difficulties the factory in Blankenhain had to be sold in 1918. From 1918 Bohemia, was joined with Moravia and Austrian Silesia to form the country Czechoslovakia which remained until December 31st 1992. Due to the import and export laws (agreement of 1891) whereby all exports must state their country of origin, so in 1918 the Made in Czechoslovakia mark was stamped on pieces. During the period between the two world wars the company’s production was low. However the company still managed to produce figurative and decorative porcelain based on already existing successful moulds.

By Hugo Morley-Fletcher, Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., N.Y., 1968. This book 'has been conceived to provide the private collector for the first time with a book that deals specifically with antiques as investments.' Written by an expert in the field, the author discusses English pottery and porcelain objects that 'chosen with care and knowledge, have proved to be first-class investments, appreciating spectacularly in value in a world characterized by the cyclic inflation and devaluation of more traditional types of currency.' Chapters are arranged by region and manufactories, including Staffordshire, Wedgwood, Leeds, Chelsea, Bow, Blue and White Porcelain, Worcester, Derby, Longton Hall, Plymouth & Bristol. Attention is also given to delftware, to the work of James Giles specifically, and to later factories. The concluding chapter summarizes the advice on pottery and porcelain as an investment. This book goes beyond the usual identification guide to provide the collector with policies that will lead to knowledgeable and profitable decisions as collections are being formed.
