"Not intended to be a catalogue but rather, as its title suggests, an introduction to the various types of English porcelain which may be found decorated in under-glaze blue together with an account of their basic characteristics. Many of the examples illustrated form part of a reference-collection available for study by collectors and students who may wish to see, and handle, typical examples of the various types and period of English blue and white porcelain. This collection is part of the 'Geoffrey Godden -- Chinamen' project -- 'something more than a shop, something more than a museum'." (foreword) One of 750 copies, quite uncommon.
