About This Book

A comprehensive regional survey of ceramic production across Great Britain that documents the development of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain through descriptions of local potteries, factory organization, materials, and decorative methods. The text profiles manufacturing districts and individual works, outlines technical processes and innovations in forming, glazing, and transfer printing, and considers labour, fuel and material economics alongside patterns of trade and export. Organized chapters and engravings offer illustrative examples and a chronological‑geographical framework tracing changes in styles, techniques, and industrial practice up to the author’s present.
