Description

THE ROCKINGHAM POTTERY
by Arthur A. Eaglestone and T.A. Lockett, David & Charles, Newton Abbot, England 1964/1973.
This early out-of-print book is illustrated with black-and-white photographs and examples of marks used on antique Rockingham pottery, porcelain, and earthenware.
”For nearly one hundred years (since the writing of Jewitt) there was no study of the Rockingham Pottery.  During that time, the wares slowly established themselves in public estimation; but background knowledge concerning the Brameld family, their relations with Earl Fitzwilliam, the Pottery’s patron, and their adventures in porcelain, was very limited indeed. This work included, for the first time, much unpublished material from the Wentworth papers; a full story of the Brameld’s venture in all aspects.  In addition it contains a comprehensive and detailed survey of the Pottery's production in earthenware and porcelain.  For a long period a common practice has been to ascribe to Rockingham, wares certainly not made at the Pottery.  Thus, with a full list of markings, and other relevant information, this book attempts to clarify that situation.”
This comprehensive book also covers in chapter form:  Pottery and Earthenware 1745-1806; Pottery and Earthenware 1806-1842; and Porcelain 1826-1842; Marks on Pottery and Porcelain; and Addendum which reviews “Recent Research and Discovery 1964-1973.  Black-and-white photographs supplement this scholarly survey, which will greatly benefit the collector, dealer, or historian of antique English pottery and porcelain.
5.6” x 8.8” hardback with dust cover in very good condition.  159 pages.
