Description
London: South Kensington Museum, 1885. First Edition. Later issue.. Original publisher's cloth.. Very good.. 8vo, xi, [1] - 241, 3("Additional Examples Received in 1889") pp. + 8 plates of makers marks and two frontispiece portraits of Charles and Lady Charlotte Schreiber. One of the earliest collections in a field that had been ignored. The collection was begun in 1865 and was an attempt to bring together the best examples of the beauty and art of English ceramics. It was also an attempt to chronicle the evolution of factories and the development of ceramic science, e.g., the inclusion of ledgers from the Fulham works that contained the recipe notebooks for making a transparent porcelain in the 1690s. Also included are the family acquisitions from the Bristol and Plymouth porcelain works.
