Title: Anglo-American Ceramics, Part I - Transfer Printed Creamware and Pearlware for the American Market 1760 - 1860
Description: Portsmouth, RI, Oakland Publications, 1998. Hardbound. Black cloth with silver lettering. Glossy black dj with white lettering and image; Mylar cover. 263 pp. with over 75 color and 800 bw plates. The ceramic products of the Liverpool and Staffordshire areas of England, designed and manufactured, during the period from 1760 to 1860, for export to the former colonies in North America, are the earliest forms of collected Americana. Decorated with transfer prints of interest to Americans, these pieces of china displayed portrait busts of America’s early politicians and military heroes, as well as views of famous battles on land and sea. Anglo-American Ceramics is the first book to thoroughly address this field since McCauley’s Liverpool Transfer Designs on Anglo-American Pottery, in 1942 and Larsen’s American Historical Views on Staffordshire China, published in 1950. This volume is the first of a three-part series which deals with those ceramics with a white creamware or pearlware body and decorated with black transfers of events and personages from the Revolution and War of 1812. Containing over 800 black/white and 75 color illustrations, this first volume alone contains photographic images of over 300 views never before illustrated. VG+/VG+ Old publisher's stock .
