BRITISH CERAMIC ART: 1870-1940 by John A. Bartlett, Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., PA, 1993.

Here is a thorough reference work for collectors and dealers in pre-war British ceramics. This beautiful, color-illustrated reference of British art potteries includes detailed accounts of their histories, artists, designers, craftsmen and personalities, together with a comprehensive list of marks. The ceramics reflect the highly imaginative, diverse art styles of this period, evolving from Arts and Crafts naturalism through pre-atomic Modernism. Over 250 sharp color and 85 black and white photographs display the innovative and often quite colorful bowls, vases, plates and jugs of British manufacture. Lively surface textures and glaze types were developed in this period through a combination of experimentation and experienced knowledge. The book presents all the major art potteries, arranged alphabetically, with detailed text, photographs of typical wares, identifying marks, glossary, bibliography and index. The examples shown here represent the best as well as the most typical wares. The author's presentation is concise while conveying an overwhelming enthusiasm for each piece. Familiar names such as Doulton, Carlton, Cardew, William de Morgan, Bernard Leach, The Martin Borthers, Wedgwood, Charlotte Rhead, Granville, Della Robbia, and many, many others comprise the contents of this dictionary of British studio and art ceramists. Here is an essential volume for the reference library of anyone interested in antique English pottery and porcelain.
