Excerpt from The Earthenware Collector As old as civilization it self, the art of the potter presents a kaleidoscope of alluring charm. To paraphrase the word of Alexandre Brongniart, no branch of industry, viewed in reference either to its history or its theory, or its practice, offers more that is interesting and fascinating, regarding alike its economic application and its artistic aspect, than does the fictile art; nor exhibits products more simple, more varied, and their frailty notwithstanding, more desirable. Of course the crude vessels of ancient times, as well as the more serviceable and scientifically more beautiful articles of to-day, exist primarily for one and the same object the use and convenience of man. The story of the potter and his technique has been told repeatedly, sometimes as a general survey and sometimes as a specialised branch of a widely extended subject, but notwithstanding the numerous books devoted to it there is always something new to be recorded, fresh pieces to describe, new points to advance and discuss.

Excerpt from Pottery Porcelain: A Guide to Collectors In preparing Pottery and Porcelain for a new edition, I have endeavored to make such improvements as will afford additional help to the inexperienced collector. The chapter on "Hints and Cautions," which has gained approval in many quarters, is enlarged, and should now be more effective in safeguarding the reader against errors and disappointments. A new chapter on "Values and Prices" has been added, with information which should be of some interest and service. Several of the notices on ceramic factories have been rewritten, and many new ones added, together with marks rewritten, and many new ones added, together with marks and fresh information. The list of Sevres decorators has been rendered more complete by the addition of some sixty-five names and signs, while the other soft-paste factories have received more attention than in previous editions. The illustrations have been reconsidered; unsatisfactory ones replaced, and several fresh ones, including three new coloured plates, added.

Excerpt from A Manual of Pottery and Porcelain for American Collectors I must also thank those who have assisted me by letter, and by placing at my disposal their libraries and various col lections. Particularly would I mention mr. W. C. Prime, whose long and scholarly attention to the Old World monu ments has familiarized him with the subject which I had in hand: of his extended inquiry I frequently availed myself, much to the advantage of these pages. My obligations are also due to mr. Clarence cook, whose thorough knowledge of art at home and abroad has been of great service to me.

Excerpt from Handbook of Marks on Pottery and Porcelain The ardent collector of Pottery or Porcelain, even when he has long passed his novitiate, constantly feels the need of a reliable pocket volume containing the authentic and indisputable marks of the pottery and porcelain of the best collectors' periods. It has been our aim to supply such a volume in a condensed and practical form. The only marks given in this book are those which are beyond dispute. The arrangement is geographical, the different species of ware being separately treated wherever practicable; but, by elaborate indices, ready reference has been provided to each mark, as well as to each factory. In addition, a condensed account of the important productions of every country prefaces each section of the work. The aim, throughout, has been to render the work as complete and self-contained as such a pocket manual can be; though, in his study, the collector will naturally turn for fuller information to the important histories or monographs, such as those mentioned in the bibliography. It has been assumed that the collector is acquainted with the broad distinctions of Simple Pottery, Fai'ence, Stoneware, and Porcelain. The terms are used here in a very definite way. Simple pottery includes all the forms of earthenware whether made from white or coloured clays, glazed with a transparent lead glaze.

Excerpt from The China Collector's Pocket Companion A portable book of marks and monograms is a necessary complement to the extensive ceramic works of the present day. In this little volume care has been taken not to assign a locality to marks except upon unquestionable authority. It is better to raise doubt than to sow error. The one time and research may dispel; the other it is impossible to eradicate when once allowed to take root.

Excerpt from English Pottery and Porcelain: A Handbook for the Collector, Giving the Characteristics of the Chief Wares Produced From the 16th to the 19th Century, the Different Factory Marks, and Some Present-Day Values of Typical Specimens Caution in purchasing must be exercised at all times, for the market is flooded with spurious ware, embrac ing everything from the common Toby jug and plebeian lustre ware, to square-marked Worcester, Old Derby, Chelsea, and other high-priced porcelain. Some very useful information about these frauds will be found in this volume. Books can undoubtedly teach a man a great deal; but Experience, after all, is the great teacher, and if in addition to providing himself with such a handbook as this, the collector will visit the important sale-rooms during the season, and the National and similar collec tions as often as possible, he will rapidly acquire a sound knowledge of the subject.
