A Collectors History of English Pottery covers the subject with insight and wit. Various working potters have commented on Griselda Lewiss previous books, and particularly how, by linking their work to that of earlier times, she has put it into perspective. This continuity is not the least of the charms of English Pottery.
Another aspect of this fascinating craft is humour as the author shows in her examples of 17th century slipware chargers, 18th century pew groups, 19th century Staffordshire figures, and even modern kitsch. There is also much else to delight the collector in this fascinating book.
