Royal Crown Derby (Shire Library)

Wonderful little book, I am learning so much from it. So glad I bought it, the art of the potter reaches its zenith with Royal Crown Derby. and other like minded potters.

This book is well illustrated and interestingly written. I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for a concise history of this famous porcelain.

Did not receive the book which was pictured, damaged front cover!

Delighted to receive it, but found that it was not all I had anticipated. While the book gave me history, and the marks used at various factories, which is fascinating, I was a little disappointed to find up to 10 pages of black & white illustrations. I had also hoped for something of a catalogue of dinner service patterns, as opposed to mainly vases and figurines, though I realize that would mean a much larger book. Overall, taking currency exchange and postage into consideration, it became a fairly expensive outlay for something that was not what I was looking for. The perils of on-line shopping!

Very imformative
