This scholarly reference work, published by Andre Deutsch, serves as an essential companion for collectors of European ceramics, covering a vast range of factories, artists, and technical terminology. Author Reginald G. Haggar was a distinguished historian, artist, and former art director at Minton's Ltd, bringing professional expertise to this compilation of marks, signatures, and historical data. The book is particularly valued for its extensive section on potter's marks and high-quality monochromatic and color illustrations. The volume is in fair to good vintage condition; the dust jacket shows signs of age, including chipping at the head and foot of the spine and corners, while the interior remains well-preserved.
