Seller's Description:
VG-(DJ is slightly aged inside; otherwise clean. ) Blue cloth with gilt letters on spine & front cover, white & glossy & color illus. dust jacket. 246 pp., 20 color, 278 bw plates. "The first book to be devoted entirely to relief-moulded jugs, a subject hitherto largely neglected in existing literature. The relief-moulded jug became by far the most widely used utilitarian vessel of the mid-and late-Victorian periods. These attractive wares reflect the history of artistic styles in the 19th century, and some of them are quite magnificent examples of Victorian art. With decoration ranging from biblical stories to classical figures, Gothic architecture to archaeology, literary subjects to genre scenes, wildlife to hunting, and botanical specimens to generalised flower patterns, there is no shortage of subjects available to the discerning collector who, dismayed by the high prices for the rarer Staffordshire figures, pot-lids, fairings and transfer-printed wares, recognises in their contemporary products--relief-moulded jugs--a collecting subjsct just as interesting." (dj) Includes an extensive index and bibliography. Uncommon.
