More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The wide range of pottery decorated in blue and white with intricate transfer-printed patterns is popular among collectors. Intended as an introduction to the subject, this guide provides information on materials, techniques, manufacturers, and styles. "Fact Files" highlight key aspects of each subject, show manufacturers' identifying marks and feature tips on collecting. Advice on care and restoration is provided at the back of the book, along with a glossary.
About the Author
Gillian Neale began collecting blue-and-white pottery after inheriting a bowl in the "Italian" pattern from her grandmother. She established her own antiques business in the early 1980s and now from her base in Aylesbury deals exclusively in blue-and-white wares. She is a member of the British Antique Dealers' Association and spends much of her time attending major vetted antiques fairs across Britain. Gillian has given talks on blue-and-white pottery and has also appeared as an expert on BBC1's Going for a Song. sales points

Gillian Neale captures the true history of Staffordshire English pottery between 1800-1900. Really fascinating tips and facts about this subject. If you have a piece of pottery that you think is worth something then I suggest you locate this book and seek out Gillian's advice. Well worth the money!
Format:Paperback
A very useful quick reference guide, although prices seem to reflect the USA market. Good varied illustrations, a useful book for a Blue and White collector.

Blue & White Pottery
15 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is set up to accomodate the beginning collector as well as the experienced. Found among its 64 pages are an introduction to blue and white pottery, guidlines for care and repair, a list of dealers, an index, a glossery, and suggested reading lists. Most of all the great color pictures and pricing guidelines make for interesting reading. Heavier cover and glossy pages make it a permanent part of a research library.

Intriguing Intro to Blue and White
4 April 2002
Format:Paperback
Lots of information and pictures, written in a breezy, informative, energetic style. I learned a minimum of one new thing on every page. I only wish there were more pages. The pictures are good but too small, as is the caption print. I don't understand why the English produce their outstanding guides to antiques in such small formats. Full of tips on how to spot subtle defects and repairs, and not-so-obvious features that can enhance or detract from value. The American edition has price information in US dollars. Get this book and read it and it will add to your enjoyment of your collection or get you started on one!
