Chapter XIX: Appendix: Books Upon Pottery and Porcelain

Text size

The following synopsis of works on "pottery and porcelain," for which we are indebted to Mr. G. W. Wales, will be found useful and interesting:

GENERAL HISTORICAL TREATISES.--Jacquemart, "History of the Ceramic
Art"--a descriptive philosophical study of the pottery of all ages
and nations, profusely illustrated in aquatint and woodcut, and
containing one thousand marks and monograms; Semper, "Der Stil in
den Künsten," in the second volume treats of ceramics, and is a
well-illustrated, comprehensive, and useful hand-book; Mareschal,
"La Faïence Populaire au 18me Siècle," has one hundred and
twelve colored plates, mostly of French and Delft porcelain; Maze,
"Recherches sur la Céramique" is illustrated by photographs, and
has a list of marks and monograms; Burty, "Chefs-d'OEuvre des
Arts Industriels," gives a popular account of ceramics, well
illustrated (there is a translation by Chaffers); Stallknecht's
papers on "Artistic Pottery and Porcelain" give also an account of
the articles in the Vienna Exposition of 1875; Treadwell's "Manual"
is a brief popular work; Hall, "Bric-à-brac Hunter." One of the
best works in English is Marryat's "History," well illustrated, in
colors. So also is Graesse's "Guide de l'Amateur," a very complete
collection, in fac-simile, of marks and monograms. Chaffers's
"Keramic Gallery," besides historical notices and descriptions,
gives several hundred photographs of rare and curious specimens of
these arts.

Besides these works, devoted especially to ceramics, it will be
well to refer to the following, selected out of many books treating
generally of the arts of the middle ages, most of them illustrated
in the best style, in which may be found chapters or short
treatises on pottery and porcelain, with admirable illustrations
adapted for use as designs for decoration: Sommerard's "Arts au
Moyen Âge," plates; Villemin, "Monumens Français;" Lenoir, "Musée
des Monumens Français;" Lacroix, "Arts of the Middle Ages;"
Louandre, "Arts Somptuaires;" "Instrumenta Ecclesiastica;" Racinet,
"L'Ornement Polychrome;" Jones, "Grammar of Ornament;" Bedford,
"Treasury of Ornamental Art;" Newbery, "Gleanings from Ornamental
Art;" Chenavard, "Album de l'Ornamentiste;" "Tradesman's Book of
Ornamental Designs;" Wyatt, "Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth
Century;" Durand, "Recueil et Parallèles des Edifices de tout
Genre;" South Kensington Museum, "Industrial Arts;" "Photographs
from the British Museum;" Labarte, "Arts Industriels au Moyen Âge;"
Zahn, "Ornamentmalerei."

MANUFACTURE.--The following books treat more particularly of the
processes of manufacture of pottery and porcelain, only
incidentally touching the artistic history. They are mostly in
French, viz.: Brongniart, "Traité des Arts Céramiques," two volumes
of text and one of plates. This is well illustrated, and cited by
all writers on the subject as high authority. Figuier, in the first
volume of the "Merveilles de l'Industrie," which treats both sides
of the subject, is very fully illustrated as regards both the
manufacture and the art-history of glass, pottery, and porcelain.
Other briefer treatises are those by Guillery,
Bastenaire-Daudenart, Boyer, and a treatise on pottery (Paris,
1772), in volume ii. of the "Description des Arts et Métiers." In
English: Tomlinson's "Brief History," from the "Encyclopædia
Britannica;" and Arnoux, in volume iii. of Bevans's "British
Manufacturing Industries." See also Turgau, "Les Grandes Usines de
France," for history of the Sèvres porcelain; Denistoun, "Dukes of
Urbino," volume iii., page 382, for an account of the manufacture
of maiolica in the duchy of Urbino; Rosina, "Memoria sulle
Stoviglie," on manufacture of utensils and analysis of clays in the
Lombardo-Venetian territory.

The following books give some practical instructions on painting,
enameling, etc.: Tilton, "Designs and Instructions for decorating
Pottery;" Snell, "Practical Instructions;" "Art Recreations;"
Gessart, "Art of Enameling;" Sutherland, "Practical Guide;"
Reboulleau.

MARKS AND MONOGRAMS.--Chaffers's "Marks and Monograms," which
contains also an historical essay on English pottery, with
illustrations; also his "Collector's Hand-book"--a
concisely-arranged volume of fac-similes of marks, a supplement to
the work just named; Mareschal, "Iconographie de la Faïence"--a
dictionary of ceramic artists and marks, with colored illustrations
of the different styles; Hooper and Phillips, "Manual"--a
dictionary of easy reference; Demmin, "Guide de l'Amateur de
Faïences" (two volumes)--a comprehensive, illustrated work of high
authority; Bohn's "Guide to Knowledge of Pottery and Porcelain,"
containing also a priced catalogue of the Bernal collection, and an
essay; Maze, "Recherches," illustrated by photographs; Meteyard's
"Wedgwood Hand-book"--a thorough history of this exquisite ware.
See also a work by the same author, for admirable photographs of
Wedgwood's principal works, and Fortnum's "Catalogue of Maiolica."

The following books treat of the history of pottery and porcelain
of different countries and periods:

ENGLAND.--For a sketch of the art of pottery in England, see the
introductory chapters of volume i. of Eliza Meteyard's "Life of
Josiah Wedgwood;" her "Wedgwood Hand-book," which gives marks,
monograms, priced catalogues, and a glossary of technical terms.
The same author has recently (1876) published "Wedgwood and his
Works," admirably illustrated with photographs of his more
important works; also "Wedgwood Memorial," likewise beautifully
illustrated. Prefixed to Chaffers's "Marks and Monograms" is an
Essay on the Vasa Fictilia of England;" Jewitt's "Life of Wedgwood"

well illustrated; Haslem's "Old Derby China," illustrated in color,
gives a full account of this ware and of the principal workmen,
with marks and price-lists; Binns's "Century of Potting in
Worcester" gives in an appendix a sketch of Celtic, Roman, and
Mediæval pottery in Worcestershire. See also "Wedgwood, an Address
by W. E. Gladstone" (1863); Boyer, "Traité sur l'Origine, les
Progrès et l'État actuel des Manufactures de Porcelaine et de
Faïence en Angleterre"--one of the excellent Roret manuals of arts

FRANCE.--Mareschal, "Faïence Populaire au 18me Siècle," with one
hundred and twelve finely-colored plates, mostly of French and
Delft ware (Paris, 1872); Pottier, "Histoire de la Faïence de

finely-illustrated treatise; Pouy, "Les Faïences d'Origine Picarde"
(1872), with colored plates and marks; Forestié, "Les Anciennes
Faienceries de Montauban," and other places in the department of
Tarn-et-Garonne. On the pottery of the Gauls, see Du Cleuzion,

photographs of twenty examples of "Henri-Deux ware" from the South
Kensington Museum.

APPLETONS

AMERICAN CYCLOPÆDIA.

NEW REVISED EDITION.

_Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps._

The work originally published under the title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPÆDIA was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled THE AMERICAN CYCLOPÆDIA.

Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative want.

The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced.

Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa.

The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought, and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers, or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history.

In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events.

The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination.

None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopædia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge.

The illustrations, which are introduced for the first time in the present edition, have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed that they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopædia, and worthy of its high character.

This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It is completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.

CONDUCTED BY E. L. YOUMANS.

This periodical was started (in 1872) to promote the diffusion of valuable scientific knowledge, in a readable and attractive form, among all classes of the community, and has thus far met a want supplied by no other magazine in the United States.

Containing instructive and interesting articles and abstracts of articles, original, selected, translated, and illustrated, from the pens of the leading scientific men of different countries; accounts of important scientific discoveries, the application of science to the practical arts, and the latest views put forth concerning natural phenomena, have been given by _savants_ of the highest authority. Prominent attention has been also devoted to those various sciences which help to a better understanding of the nature of man, to the bearings of science upon the questions of society and government, to scientific education, and to the conflicts which spring from the progressive nature of scientific knowledge.

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY is published monthly in a large octavo, handsomely printed on clear type, and, when the subjects admit, fully illustrated. Each number contains 128 pages.

TERMS: $5.00 per annum, or Fifty Cents per Number. Postage free to all Subscribers in the United States.
