Descripción

Dusty rose cloth, gilt letters on spine & front cover, gilt line decoration on spine & both covers, 189 pp., 21 plates. A detailed treatment of this specific decorated Italian pottery. According to the author's prefatory: "The objects critically and historically considered in the present work are the glazed and enamelled pottery produced in Italy during the later decades of the fifteenth and the course of the sixteenth centuries; some account has also been given of those earlier wares of Oriental origin from which the Italian potters may have acquired improved methods of production or enrichment. By the courtesy of the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education I have been permitted to make free use of the Descriptive Catalogue of Maiolica and kindred wares in the South Kensington Museum, prepared by me at the request of their predecessors in office, and published in 1872; and in availing myself of this permission I have endeavoured to graft on the old stock all important newer matter bering on the subject, at the same time pruning away whatever might be deemed superfluous or erroneous." (p. vii) An uncommon resource, in any condition. G- (Well worn overall; hinges are still tight; some foxing on flyleaves and edges of book block; pages and plates are clear; tissue guard at frontispiece is torn and adhered to color plate; some pages may remain uncut.).
