A great book for the purposes contrived by the author (an American collector).NOT a good source for those interested in collecting antique English China.Did not find a single picture or description of any of the main China manufacturers'most collected tea sets (which is what I am interested in.)A good compilation of English Pottery more than china patterns etc..

On the plus side, the range and selection of objects discussed is ample, and the illustrations of marks are helpful.
Examples include molded and relief work, hand-painted decoration, luster finishes, overglaze polychrome colors, and underglaze transfer designs. There are more than 450 full color photos in the book. The focus is on the decorations found. She has authored many titles, with subjects including Flow Blue China, Blue Willow, English China, Limoges Porcelain, R.S. The subject matter ranges from Chelsea Grape to Wedgwood, with plenty of offerings in between on such china as Majolica, Ironstone, and Staffordshire.. A number of different methods and types are defined and illustrated. Most of her books have seen multiple editions and/or volumes, as her books are extremely popular among collectors. AUTHORBIO: Mary Frank Gaston's study of antiques began during the mid-1960s when she and her husband lived in New England which is so rich in our nation's history. Over 450 color pho
