Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The China Hunters Club It was a charming idea to make a book like this, in which the romance of domestic potteries in New England homes serves to illustrate the history of Ceramic Art in connection with the early use of its products in America. I have been requested to introduce the volume with testimony to the genuine character of the specimens illustrated and described, and the trustworthy nature of the information given in connection with them. It is a sincere pleasure to comply with this request; for the little book contains a large amount of valuable information not to be found elsewhere, and which lovers of old pottery and its associations, like myself, have in vain sought heretofore to obtain. What kinds of china and pottery our grandmothers used, how far the short but wonderful history of Ceramic Art in England is exemplified in American houses, these and kindred questions have great interest. The China Hunters Club has done much toward answering them. I have had opportunities from time to time, during the past two years, of seeing each of the specimens here illustrated and many of those descried. Some are in the possession of private families, sanctified by such associations that no collector, however enthusiastic, would dream of adding them to his cabinet. Others are in various collections. One or two are my own. I have heard from their owners the histories of many of the pieces as here related.
