Wearside Sunderland Pottery - History Development Types / Illustrated Book

Description

SUNDERLAND POTTERY
revised by John Baker, Thomas Reed Industrial Press Ltd., Tyne and Wear County Council Museums, England, 1983.
Illustrated in color and black-and-white, this scarce out-of-print book provides a scholarly study of
the history and development of
Sunderland pottery.  "Sunderland
pottery
provides a unique reflection of the political, commercial and social life of the greater part of the
nineteenth
century.  The pottery itself is typical of the functional, unsophisticated product of its day. The
decorations
commemorate great events like battles and war: recording great
occasions
and people, both local and national.  They enthuse over the great commerce of the North East, such as
shipping
and the coal trade."  There's a wealth of information for both the novice and advanced collector of nineteenth century English pottery.
8.2" x 11.6" softback in very good condition.  135 pages.
