Dutch Pottery And Porcelain William Pitcairn Knowles

Originally published in 1904, Dutch Pottery And Porcelain is an insightful and authoritative guide to the history and products of the Netherlands' most celebrated craft. The guide not only includes examples of Delft pottery, with its highly prized blue designs, but work by smaller manufacturers, each with their own distinctive qualities and expertise. The book also includes a directory of the members of the Guild of St Luke and their identifying marks which will be useful to any collector. The author, W Pitcairn Knowles, spent many years in the Netherlands, building up an extensive and detailed knowledge of its people and pottery.
