Description: Illustrated with over 600 photographs and 18 color plates., this scholarly text is arranged chronologically to show the development of British pottery, and is concerned more with the main classes and types of early pottery ware. Slip-ware, tin-glazed wares, stone-wares, salt-glaze, cream-wares, basalt, jasper, and other types are thus dealt with, and, in addition, full information is given on the main manufacturers, individual potters and artists. BRITISH POTTERY – AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE by Geoffrey A. Godden, Clarkson N. Potter, Inc. NY, 1975 First Edition. “Mr. Godden begins with the 18th century and continues through the complexities of the 19th century and the various Victorian “art potteries”. He then explores the 1900-1930 period, and shows how full of interest it can be to the present-day collector. Post-war “studio pottery” and factory productions complete this comprehensive coverage.

The book covers by chapter: Slip-wares; Delft-Type Wares; Stonewares; Salt-Glazed Wares; Veined Wares; Red-Wares; Whieldon-Type Wares; Creamwares; Basalt; Jasper; Turner’s Body; Ironstone-Type Bodies; Lustre Decoration; Mocha Decoration; William Ridgway Earthenware; Printing; Pratt and Colour-Printing; Pratt-Type Wares; Majolica Wares; Staffordshire Figures; Doulton Wares; The Martin Brothers; William de Morgan; The Art of Potteries (Della Robbia, Linthorpe, Ault, Barum/Aller Vale and Farnham, Ruskin, Bernard Moore, and Elton); Art Nouveau; Maw & Co.; Pilkington’s Royal Lancastrian; Moorcroft; ‘Cheap Lines’; Art deco and the 1920s and 1930s (Poole, Powell Decorated Wedgwood, Gwendolen Parnell, Charles Vyse, Henry Parr, and Coronation Wares); Studio Pottery; and Modern Commercial Pottery); Guide to Dating; Bibliography; and Index.
