"There are many books on English pottery and porcelain which treat of old ceramic art, but there are very few which deal with the later work of the nineteenth century, which show the special wares of the Victorian period and those of our own times, and which record the development of potteries whose oldest products are modern. Hence this book, which is an endeavour to do some justice to the descendants of the eighteenth-century potters, will at the same time recognise the talents of men who have moved along on independent lines, working out ideas which are characteristic of their wares."
