ENGLAND.--For a sketch of the art of pottery in England, see the
introductory chapters of volume i. of Eliza Meteyard's "Life of
Josiah Wedgwood;" her "Wedgwood Hand-book," which gives marks,
monograms, priced catalogues, and a glossary of technical terms.
The same author has recently (1876) published "Wedgwood and his
Works," admirably illustrated with photographs of his more
important works; also "Wedgwood Memorial," likewise beautifully
illustrated. Prefixed to Chaffers's "Marks and Monograms" is an
Essay on the Vasa Fictilia of England;" Jewitt's "Life of Wedgwood"
contains also a "History of the Early Potteries of Staffordshire,"
well illustrated; Haslem's "Old Derby China," illustrated in color,
gives a full account of this ware and of the principal workmen,
with marks and price-lists; Binns's "Century of Potting in
Worcester" gives in an appendix a sketch of Celtic, Roman, and
Mediæval pottery in Worcestershire. See also "Wedgwood, an Address
by W. E. Gladstone" (1863); Boyer, "Traité sur l'Origine, les
Progrès et l'État actuel des Manufactures de Porcelaine et de
Faïence en Angleterre"--one of the excellent Roret manuals of arts
and trades.
FRANCE.--Mareschal, "Faïence Populaire au 18me Siècle," with one
hundred and twelve finely-colored plates, mostly of French and
Delft ware (Paris, 1872); Pottier, "Histoire de la Faïence de
Rouen" (1870), two volumes, quarto--an elaborate and
finely-illustrated treatise; Pouy, "Les Faïences d'Origine Picarde"
(1872), with colored plates and marks; Forestié, "Les Anciennes
Faienceries de Montauban," and other places in the department of
Tarn-et-Garonne. On the pottery of the Gauls, see Du Cleuzion,
"Poterie Gauloise." A publication by the Arundel Society gives fine
photographs of twenty examples of "Henri-Deux ware" from the South
Kensington Museum.
