The First Century Of English Porcelain (1906)

The First Century of English Porcelain, written by W. Moore Binns and originally published in 1906, is a comprehensive study of the history and development of English porcelain from its earliest beginnings in the 18th century up until the early 20th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part covers the history of porcelain in England, including the founding of the first porcelain factories, the development of different styles and techniques, and the influence of other European porcelain makers. The second part of the book is a detailed examination of the different English porcelain factories and their products, including Wedgwood, Chelsea, Derby, Worcester, and others. Binns provides information on the artists and designers who worked for these factories, as well as the various marks and symbols used to identify their products. The book is illustrated with numerous black-and-white photographs of porcelain pieces, as well as line drawings of factory marks and other details. Overall, The First Century of English Porcelain is an important reference work for anyone interested in the history of ceramics and the decorative arts in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
