*Chats on Oriental China.* By J. F. BLACKER. With a coloured
frontispiece and 70 other Illustrations. Cloth, 10s. 6d. net. Third
Impression.
Will be of the utmost service to collectors and to all who may have
old Chinese and Japanese porcelain in their possession. It deals with
oriental china from the various standpoints of history, technique,
age, marks and values, and is richly illustrated with admirable
reproductions.
“A treatise that is so informing and comprehensive that it commands
the prompt recognisation of all who value the choice productions of
the oriental artists.... The illustrations are numerous and invaluable
to the attainment of expert knowledge, and the result is a handbook
that is as indispensable as it is unique.” _Pall Mall Gazette._
*Chats on English Earthenware.* A companion volume to “Chats on
English China.” By ARTHUR HAYDEN. With a coloured frontispiece, 150
Illustrations and tables of over 200 illustrated marks. Cloth,
10s. 6d. net. Third Impression.
“To the ever-increasing number of collectors who are taking an
interest in old English pottery ... will be found one of the most
delightful, as it is a practical work on a fascinating subject.”
_Hearth and Home._
“Here we have a handbook, written by a well-known authority, which
gives in the concisest possible form all the information that the
beginner in earthenware collecting is likely to need. Moreover,
it contains one or two features that are not usually found in the
multifarious “guides” that are produced to-day.” _Nation._
*Chats on Autographs.* By A. M. BROADLEY. With 130 Illustrations.
Cloth, 6s. net.
“Being an expert collector, Mr. Broadley not only discourses on the
kinds of autograph he owns, but gives some excellent cautionary advice
and a valuable ‘caveat emptor’ chapter for the benefit of other
collectors.” _Westminster Gazette._
“It is assuredly the best work of the kind yet given to the public;
and supplies the intending collector with the various sources of
information necessary to his equipment.” _Manchester Guardian._
*Chats on Pewter.* By H. J. L. J. MASSÉ, M.A. With 52 half-tone and
numerous other Illustrations. Cloth, 10s. 6d. net. Second Impression.
“It is a remarkably thorough and well-arranged guide to the subject,
supplied with useful illustrations and with lists of pewterers and of
their marks so complete as to make it a very complete and satisfactory
book of reference.” _Manchester Guardian._
“Before setting out to collect old pewter it would be as well to read
Mr. Massé’s book, which is exhaustive in its information and its lists
of pewterers, analytical index, and historical and technical chapters.”
_Spectator._
