Seller's Description:
VG/VG. Azure blue cloth with glossy black & color-illustrated dust jacket. 344 pp., 54 color and 362 bw plates. "This Godden standard reference book breaks new ground and will be found indispensable for collectors, dealers, auctioneers or others interested in these highly collectable Mason wares and the many other types of durable earthenware which may be classed as 'Ironstone. ' This revised and enlarged edition of the work first published in 1971 and reprinted in 1980, contains forty additional colour plates and new author's notes. The extended coverage is unique to this book, ranging as it does from the Chinese porcelains in which Miles Mason dealt in London in the 18th century, through his Liverpool porcelain manufacturing partnership, into Mason's ventures in Staffordshire where he produced some of our most interesting English porcelains early in the 19th century, to the world-famous Mason's Patent Ironstone china introduced by Miles' eldest son, Charles James Mason, in 1813. The coverage extends further to list 180 of Mason's contemporaries who sought to produce these popular durable Ironstone-type wares which were exported far and wide giving long service and pleasure to all users." (dj) A fabulous reference, and one that is vital to the study or collection of Mason ware.
