In this book the word CHINA is deliberately used to describe both Pottery and Porcelain. Pottery is baked clay, and true porcelain is composed of a baked mixture of particular kinds of ground-up stone, and clay (china0stone and china-clay), which combine when heated to a sufficiently high temperature. The pieces illustrated (mostly in black and white) have been selected to show a range of the different types of china made in England between about 1500 and 1830. The presence of marks is noted. Full descriptions and history of the piece are given. Prices are not included in this historic 96 page volume, 8 x 10-1/2", no book jacket, some soiling due to age on book cover itself. A good selection for your reference shelf! A.S. Barnes and Co.
