Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-American Pottery: Old English China With American Views a Manual for Collectors At The Solicitation of numerous collectors of old English china bearing American views, a series of Illustrated papers was recently prepared by the writer and published in The Clay-Worker. of Indianapolis, Ind. In the introductory chapter nothing but a brief review of the earlier Liverpool designs was attempted, for the reasons there stated and because of the scarcity of such pieces at this late day. The main purpose of the compiler was to present as complete a list of the later Staffordshire designs in dark blue and other colors as possible, so classified that the productions of each potter should be grouped together, whereby the identification of unmarked pieces might be facilitated to some extent by means of common border devices. It was not deemed necessary to present detailed descriptions of views for the reason that they would not be required by collectors who possessed examples of china bearing the designs described, nor carry definite meaning to those who did not. The need of a pocket manual of such china, compact in arrangement and convenient for ready reference, has long been felt. These lists have, therefore, been revised, enlarged and republished in a form suitable for collectors and others interested in tho subject.
