Index. 24 tipped-in color plates & 64 pages of black-and-white illustrations. Decorative endpapers. 'But there are several reasons why a volume on Josiah Spode should be produced. It is due to Staffordshire that his memory should be held in great honour for two great accomplishments: first that he introduced the blue underglaze transfer printing into Staffordshire, and second that he introduced the wonderful formula of his bone china into Staffordshire, a body which has been adopted as the standard not only by English potters but by some factories on the Continent. In America no other formula has been used. ' - Preface. Good decorative hardcover in worn and repaired dust jacket (tear in front panel of dust jacket has been repaired with tape). #26633. $90
