First edition. 108pp, plus colour plate frontispiece (depicting a rather lovely coffee pot), three further colour plate illustrations and 96pp of monochrome plate illustrations. In cream cloth-covered boards with gilt stamped lettering on red label on spine. 8vo. Boards very gently rounded at spine ends, very mildly soiled in places. A little toning on endpapers else internallyneat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust wrapper, price clipped, gently crushed at extreme spine ends and now protected in a removable Brodart-style wrapper. The two great discoveries in 18th century European ceramics were porcelain and cream-coloured earthenware. The latter was an original English invention which in the hands of Josiah Wedgwood and his contemporaries in Leeds and elsewhere, practically superceded porcelain and the more old-fashioned delftware.
