A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Preface. -l ira? THE first attempt to figure the marks of American potters - Vwas made by the author in hfe Pottery and Porcelain tf the United States, in 1893, in which less than one lni varieties, found princiimlly on the earlier wares, were itown. Previous to that time ncme of the manuals on potters irks contained any reference to the ceramic products of this country. The scope of this work, as originally (danned, has been extended to include the principal marks, whether those of factories, patterns, workmen or decorators, which have been used in America down to the present day, on boartisttc and cc iaal wares, for the double purpose of eimbg collectors to recognize and identify examples w Uch oftsfess historical value, and to furnish users of modem household ,ina with information which may be utilized in reavmg .ar completing desired patterns. The majority the cuts of marks here used first appeared in connection with a scries articles by the present writer in the China, Glass and Pot Review, and some of the full-page ijlustrations, which -first published in Old China, are reproduced through ,. curtesy of the publisher of that magazine. Je earlier marks shown in these pages, and imny of the ones, have been copied from examples of ware in the jue collection of American Pottery and Porcelain in the I vania Museum, Memorial Hall, Philadelphia.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
