Royal Crown Derby (Shire Library)

Wonderful little book, I am learning so much from it. So glad I bought it, the art of the potter reaches its zenith with Royal Crown Derby. and other like minded potters.

Very imformative

Delighted to receive it, but found that it was not all I had anticipated. While the book gave me history, and the marks used at various factories, which is fascinating, I was a little disappointed to find up to 10 pages of black & white illustrations. I had also hoped for something of a catalogue of dinner service patterns, as opposed to mainly vases and figurines,though I realize that would mean a much larger book. Overall, taking currency exchange and postage into consideration, it became a fairly expensive outlay for something that was not what I was looking for. The perils of on-line shopping!

This book is well illustrated and interestingly written. I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for a concise history of this famous porcelain.

Did not receive the book which was pictured, damaged front cover!
