Comprehensive coverage of the companies and personalities involved in its manufacturer. The popularity of lustreware in the 19th century was immense and there existed a huge export market. This book attempts to show examples of the finest lustreware which will lead to an understanding of its great popularity!

This new copy of a wonderfully colorful volume is 8 1/2 x 11", and has beautiful 150 b&w, 100 full color photographs in 256 pages in a hard cover volume. One of the foremost authorities on lustreware, Michael Gibson has incorporated the latest research into this exhaustive text.

He offers complete history of ceramics, from the beginnings of lustreware in 1805 through its heyday in the first half of that century. In addition, he gives detailed descriptions of techniques, comprehensive coverage of its makers and the personalities involved in its manufacture.

The lavish illustrations,150 in full color, provide a unique understanding of the subject: many of the pieces are extremely rare and have never been published.

Among these are examples from the vast but little-known Gutman collection in the United States. With surprisingly few books on lustreware , this book will prove invaluable to both collectors and dealers alike!
