Gillian Neale provides an in-depth yet accessible guide to collecting blue-and-white pottery, giving detailed historical information, along with advice about building and streamlining a collection.

Further Detail

The newest addition to an authoritative collecting series, Miller's Collecting Blue & White Pottery begins with a comprehensive discussion of the introduction and development of blue printed pottery, including the manufacturing processes, and why you should want to collect it. A collection has far more value as a whole if it is held together by a coherent theme. Therefore dealer and expert Gillian Neale examines the many different strands possible by dividing the book into collecting by design, by decoration, by factory, and by use, at the same time illustrating the diversity of pottery available. Useful collecting information and advice is provided throughout, and helpful tips are also given on how to care for and display your collection.
