This ebook is for collectors, practitioners, and
students of ceramics who are in need of technical and
yet handy referencing to those types and techniques
known first by their materials and second by their
manufacturers: under the listing for a given ware
type, thorough descriptions of physical makeup and
techniques for making are followed by names, dates and
places of manufacture where exemplary pieces can be
found. For example, under AGATEWARE are credits
directing the reader to the English manufactorys of
Wedgwood, Astbury, and Whieldon as originators and
standard-makers for European agateware since the 18th
Century. An appendix provides specifically historical
treatments for the three most general types -
"earthenware", "stoneware", and "porcelain" - by
placing their oriental and occidental origins of
manufacture. Fully illustrated, over 200 pictures.
