"The first and only ful-scale study of Rockingham ware to consider not just its history as a manufactured object but also its role in domestic life. ...Describes the physical characteristics of Rockingham ware and its production history within the context of nineteenth-century design, shows how certain Rockingham-ware vessels were used in the expression and maintenance of cultural identity and the enactment of social roles, and demonstrates that choices of vessel form and decoration differed according to the gender and social class of the buyer."
