The Rockingham Pottery

Great Britain: David & Charles, 1973. Hardback. The Rockingham Pottery. Price clipped to D/J. For nearly a hundred years (since the writings of Jewitt) there was no study of the Rockingham Pottery. During that time, the wares slowly established themselves in public estimation; but background knowledge concerning the Brameld family, their relations with Earl Fitzwilliam, the Pottery's patron, and their adventures in porcelain, was very limited indeed. This work included, for the first time, much unpublished material from the Wentworth papers; a full story of the Bramelds' venture in all its aspects. In addition, it contains a comprehensive and detailed survey of the Pottery's productions in earthenware and porcelain. For a long period a common practice has been to ascribe to Rockingham, wares certainly not made at the Pottery. Thus, with a full list of markings, and other relevant information, the book attempts to clarify the situation. The work should of a real value to collectors and to all interested in ceramic art. This revised edition contains an additional twenty-two illustrations and a full chapter of comment on recent research and discovery. Togher they provide a most valuable section of additional information to supplement the authors' original work. Illustrated. 159 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . New Revised Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
