A reissue of a 1957 book. "Dr. Boney sketches the rise, development and decline of china-making in eighteenth-century Liverpool; he describes the various types of ware in gerat detail; and he gives biographical details on the potters, engravers and others who were associated with the industry. ... [Gives] full information about more than 300 individual pieces and so provide[s] an invaluable corpus of comparative examples. This is, in short, a worthy pioneer monograph on an aspect of English ceramics about which too little reliable information has hitherto been available. Its reissue will be welcomed by scholars and collectors alike." (dj).
