Blue cloth, gilt, beveled edges. Two upper corners and foot of spine of vol. I a bit jammed. Overall, a fine set with slightly chipped and spine-darkened dust jackets (printed in red and black). A magnificent and important catalogue of European pottery and porcelain of mediaeval and modern times. James Whitbread Lee Glaisher (1809-1903) was best known as a leading mathematician and astronomer, a graduate of Trinity College and a lifelong lecturer there. He was a great authority on faience and pottery. His collection is considered to be the finest in the world and represents more than thirty years' activity in collecting. It comprises over three thousand objects, along with their provenance and references to comparable pieces elsewhere. The collection is strongest is the English lead-glazed wares, stonewares, and delft wares of the pre-industrial age, but the Continental section, amounting to 2, 268 specimens, comprises fine examples notably of Spanish and Italian majolica, French and German faïence, Delft, German stoneware, and peasant pottery from Switzerland and other parts of Central Europe. A short historical introduction precedes each section, with lists of the latest specialized monographs in all languages.
