English Chinese Porcelain Etc

This is an edited and revised compilation of 15 of the standard reference books written by Geoffrey Godden between 1961 and 1983, many of which are now out of print. It provides an excellent survey of the main types of English 18th century porcelain - Mason's Ironstone china and the productions of the Coalport, Ridgway and Minton factories up to the mid-19th century - with an important section of Parian porcelain. An illustrated glossary of the basic types of English ceramics, factory marks, and extensive bibliography and general hints on forming a collection, make this a particularly useful work for anyone with an interest in ceramics.
