1.0 out of 5 stars
Not recommended,
This review is from: Miller's Encyclopedia of British Transfer-Printed Pottery Patterns 1790-1930 (Hardcover)
Most of the pictures in this book are too small and of such poor quality that the details and colors of the transferware are unclear. Even so, the material is not nearly comprehensive enough to be called an encyclopedia. The subtitle is misleading as items are dated but there is no arrangement by dates. I still intended to give this book a 2 out of 5, however, until I read the introduction. There the author claims the book is special because "for the first time" a book on transferware is arranged by pattern. Guess she never heard of Petra Williams?

This review is from: Miller's Encyclopedia of British Transfer-Printed Pottery Patterns 1790-1930 (Hardcover)
I got this book to use to identify patterns off archaeological transferware broken pieces. Well it is of little use because no close up details can be seen clearly. Dates are provided, but the book has very small photos that provide little detail for identification even if you had a complete dish, yet alone a ceramic sherd. Save you money.
This book is of little value for pattern recognition due to a lack of detailed close up views. Colors are poor. Few maker's marks are also shown. |
