Product Description

Beginning with a short introduction and description of printed (transferware) pottery, this unique guide is then divided by subject category, such as Animals, Buildings, Chinoiserie etc. These categories are then sub-divided with individual patterns illustrated and identified, with cross-references for patterns that fall into more than one subject category. Each colour photograph has a caption with the essential information needed on pattern, maker, date, available colours, and any other useful items such as whether the pattern is particularly rare or was specifically made for export. The photos are also accompanied by any borders and marks that go with that pattern, making this an invaluable sourcebook for every collector or dealer in printed pottery. Additional chapters help identify uncommon shapes and concentrate on the different types of plates and cups available.

Not recommended 28 Dec 2008

By Heather Baker - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

Most of the pictures in this book are too small and of such poor quality that the details and colors of the transferware are unclear. Even so, the material is not nearly comprehensive enough to be called an encyclopedia. The subtitle is misleading as items are dated but there is no arrangement by dates. I still intended to give this book a 2 out of 5, however, until I read the introduction. There the author claims the book is special because "for the first time" a book on transferware is arranged by pattern. Guess she never heard of Petra Williams?

Patterns too small in Millers book. 6 Sep 2010

By Lawrence Mier - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I got this book to use to identify patterns off archaeological transferware broken pieces. Well it is of little use because no close up details can be seen clearly. Dates are provided, but the book has very small photos that provide little detail for identification even if you had a complete dish, yet alone a ceramic sherd. Save you money.
This book is of little value for pattern recognition due to a lack of detailed close up views. Colors are poor. Few maker's marks are also shown.
