English Porcelain is a comprehensive guide to the history and production of English porcelain, written by Arthur Herbert Church and first published in 1886. The book begins with an overview of the origins of porcelain in China and its introduction to Europe, before moving on to the development of the English porcelain industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. Church provides detailed descriptions of the various factories and their wares, including Chelsea, Derby, Worcester, and Spode. He also discusses the technical aspects of porcelain production, such as the composition of the clay and glazes, and the firing process.The book is illustrated with numerous black and white photographs and drawings of porcelain pieces, as well as marks and signatures used by the different factories. Church also includes a glossary of technical terms and a bibliography for further reading. English Porcelain remains an important reference work for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the history and art of porcelain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
