Antique English Rockingham Porcelain 1745-1842 / In-Depth Illustrated Book

Description

ROCKINGHAM 1745-1842
by Alwyn and Angela Cox, Antique Collector’s Club, England, 2001.
Beautiful color photographs, in-depth captions and rich narrative combine to make this scholarly text an invaluable reference on Rockingham pottery and porcelain. “This new, comprehensive and well-illustrated account of the Rockingham pottery, one of England’s major nineteenth century porcelain manufactories, traces its unusual development and diverse wares from 1745, when it was founded, to its closure almost a century later.”
”Although written primarily with collectors in mind, this book will appeal to a much wider readership: researchers in ceramics, librarians, salesroom and museum staff and social historians.”
”Archaeological evidence has been used to identify eighteenth century, slip-decorated pottery, fine unmarked creamware, pearlware and the early products of the following century. Characteristic shapes and types of decoration are illustrated, including the complete range of transfer-printed designs on pottery. All factory marks are shown and guidance is given to help collectors avoid spurious wares. Many of the pieces illustrated are in private collections. They vary from items of extraordinary beauty and richness to more everyday wares. This book, with its many new findings and previously unpublished documentary material, provides an indispensable guide to this Pottery’s remarkably diverse products.”
