It is a unique. comprehensive study. The number of instructive illustrations exceeds seven hundred. including helpful comparison photographs and details of identifying features - footrims. handle forms. manufacturing characteristics and marks. Apart from introductory chapters on collecting blue and white and on the introduction and development of this popular mode of decoration. this unique coverage comprises details of over twenty distinct makes. including the relatively newly researched eighteenth century factories at Isleworth.
