This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...

The exact artistic level of ordinary English (and especially Staffordshire) crockery may be easily determined by the "man in the street," if he will take the trouble to compare the average crockery shop with the average draper's, silversmith's, paper-hanger's, bookseller's, or even ironmonger's. As a mere trade the artistic level of the potting "trade" in England cannot be placed high, even...
