Description: ART DECO TABLEWARE: British Domestic Ceramics 1925-1939 by Judy Spours, Rizzoli Publishing, N.Y., 1988. This fascinating book “combines descriptions of the factories with information on the wider design and social background, and provides a widely researched and detailed survey of the tablewares produced by British potteries during 1925-39. The output of about 100 factories including Wedgwood, Doulton, Poole, Shelley, Newport, and A.E. Gray, and many less well-known ones such as E. Brain/Foley, Barker Brothers, Burgess and Leigh, and Paragon, is covered together with the work done for them by designers such as Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Charlotte Rhead and Keith Murray. Novelty wares and kitsch, such as Carlton Ware and Crown Devon, and nursery wares, are also described.” ” Historical notes are provided on the more important firms; the name, location, and any trade name used as part of the backstamp are given throughout. For each company, a number of designs that represent their best and most exciting table wares, or which are characteristic of their output at the time, is listed. Individual pattern and shape names are given with a description of their appearance, to help collectors….The book is a fascinating and informative introduction to Art Deco ceramics, an invaluable guide for the interested amateur, the art student and collector alike.” Color photo plates illustrating over 150 designs, complemented by rich text, make this book an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of Art Deco pottery and porcelain. 8.5” x 11.75” hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 224 pages.
