Swansea porcelain, Shapes and Sizes
- Swansea porcelain at its best approaches or surpasses the quality
and beauty of the contemporary Paris pieces which it tried to emulate.
The finely painted decoration by William Billingsley, Thomas Baxter, David
Evans, William Pollard and others on the extraordinarily translucent white
body sets Swansea firmly amongst the ranks of the greatest British
factories. This new book, based on the extensive collection of Sir
Leslie Joseph and other collections throughout the country, brings together
new research in a readable form with a wealth of illustrations covering the
whole range of Swansea shapes and patterns.
David Battie, [Southerby's]
- The result of the work and the research of these two authors makes
this an essential book for the serious student and collector
Hugh Bulmer, [Phillip's]
- This book will be of immeasurable value and can only serve to
stimulate enthusiasm like theirs in other collectors and students of this fascinating
field.
Hugo Morley-Fletcher, [Christie's]
