Book Synopsis White Ironstone China by : Ernie Dieringer
Download or read book White Ironstone China written by Ernie Dieringer and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 2001-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identification of English white ironstone plates is made far easier through this new book. Organized according to the shape names, the 327 color photographs and 252 drawings of plates, rims, potters marks and registry marks are easy to compare.
