Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History and Description of French Porcelain The history of French porcelain must always be full of interest to the English reader because, beyond the intrinsic merits of the material and the marvellous technical skill displayed in the finest examples of French porcelain, we can never forget that the earliest English porcelains, particularly those of Bow and Chelsea, owed so much, both directly and indirectly, to our neighbours across the Channel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth-Century English Ceramic Art There are many books on English pottery and porcelain which treat of Old ceramic art, but there are very few which deal with the later work of the nineteenth century, which Show the special wares Of the Victorian period and those of our own times, and which record the development of potteries whose Oldest products are modern. Hence this book, which is an endeavour to do some justice to the descendants of the eighteenth-century potters, will at the same time recognise the talents of men who have moved along on independent lines, working out ideas which are Characteristic of their wares.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Pottery and Porcelain: A Handbook for the Collector, Giving the Characteristics of the Chief Wares Produced From the 16th to the 19th Century, the Different Factory Marks, and Some Present-Day Values of Typical Specimens Though the collecting of pottery and porcelain has been disparagingly referred to as a "mania" or a "fad," yet even its worst detractors cannot deny that it is an interesting one. Nor is it without historic or educational value, to say nothing of the fact that if made with care a collection may be regarded in the light of a profitable investment. Prices for genuine pieces are yearly hardening, and for even what was once regarded as very common earthenware - lustre, for instance - three times as much as was possible ten years ago can now be obtained. These prices are likely to be still further enhanced, as by the efflux of Time such fragile articles are from their very nature bound to get scarcer. The "craze," or whatever else it may be called, for collecting china has had a considerable literature of its own, though chiefly, it must be admitted, for the comparatively well-to-do and the more or less experienced collector. In the past the less wealthy and the inexperienced have suffered from a dearth of handbooks that would help them. The aim of the present volume is to supply the omission.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of English Porcelain: In the Department of British and Mediaeval Antiquities and Ethnography of the British Museum The following Catalogue is the complement of the Catalogue of English Pottery in the Museum published in 1903. The bulk of the collection here described was presented by the late Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks, K. C. B. His aim was to gather together such examples of the various wares as would best illustrate the history of the factories, preferring documentary pieces to such as were merely of decorative value. It would not be possible to fix a limit of date in a collection of this class, but comparatively few of the pieces are less than a century old.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Porcelain: A Handbook to the China Made in England During the Eighteenth Century as Illustrated by Specimens Chiefly in the National Collections Contributions to the history of these factories, but the complete tale has not yet been told. Of the smaller and more obscure factories we may learn much in some instances, very little in others. When a few thousand pounds have been sunk in a vain attempt at china-making, the circumstances of the failure are not willingly published far and wide. On the other hand, some of the minor factories have left tangible and fairly complete records of their history. The origin and nature of English porcelain is treated with some fulness in my introductory chapter. I need not here re capitulate the distinctions, such as they are, between hard and soft paste, and between natural and artificial porcelain. These distinctions are dwelt upon in the earlier chapters of this Handbook, where also will be found brief accounts of the chief materials employed in the several factories. For fuller details of a technical kind, and for more numerous analyses of clays and porcelains, reference may be made to some of the books named in my Bibliographical Notes. Here, however, the'author may be permitted to refer to the discovery, made by him nearly forty years ago, of the early use of bone-ash in the porcelain made at Bow. A claim is made in Chapter III. Anent the introduction of this most important constituent into the body of English china. That introduction has proved of supreme importance in the later manufacture of imitative porcelain, from 1760 at least, if not earlier, down to the present day. In spite of the vagueness, the ineptitude, even the actual errors, in the 1749 Specification of Thomas Frye's invention, I am convinced that to this Englishman, an accomplished draughtsman' and mezzotint engraver, the ceramic world owes a debt of considerable magnitude. In consequence the argument as to this matter will be found to have been developed, in the chapter on Bow porcelain, to a very considerable extent.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Porcelain Its Nature Art and Manufacture The interest of Porcelain is perennial, and though book succeeds book, the subject remains unexhausted. The aim of this little book is to supply the collector and student of porcelain, as well as the general reader, with a clear and connected account of the various kinds of porcelain made in Asia and Europe. It has taken me more years than I like to count to arrive at the ideas set down in the following pages, and I hope that, as a result of my labours in sifting, weighing, selecting, and arranging, the knowledge gained from so many diverse sources, others may be saved a great deal of unnecessary trouble. This is in no sense a technical treatise, yet it is based on a practical experience in many branches of the Potter's Art, which has, I trust, enabled me to exhibit certain aspects of the subject in a way that will be new to the bulk of my readers. Throughout the work I have been careful to explain how the artistic qualities of the various porcelains have been influenced by the nature of the materials and processes used in different countries; the information being of such a character as will enable a collector to find the scientific explanation of the differences which an artist feels. Many difficulties have to be faced in a work necessarily so compressed as this. In the first place, it is impossible to keep the treatment accurately in scale. Naturally, perhaps, in an English book the records of the English factories occupy more space than the artistic merit of their productions would warrant; while German porcelain makes so little appeal to our English tastes, that a German might, not unreasonably, complain that the factories of his country had received less attention than they deserve. Others may think that Japanese porcelain has been somewhat slighted, but I have honestly tried to give a picture that should represent as truly as possible, within the prescribed limits, the development of every important kind of porcelain known. It is, perhaps, necessary to say a word in explanation of the attention given to the Letters of Pere d'Entrecolles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The China Collector: A Guide to the Porcelain of the English Factories His book has been written to en able the enthusiastic collector of China, even after he has passed through his apprenticeship, and acquired a certain amount of experience, to form a correct judgment of that branch of ceramics embraced under the designation of Old English Porcelain. Though not primarily intended for the expert, I have endeavoured to set down in concise form the data which are essential to all who submit our English Porcelains to a close and critical study. Not only has a careful investigation been made of the actual wares, but also of the standard authors on the subject, past and present: wherever their experience might add to the lucidity of the text, their works have been consulted, and every source has been acknowledged.
