Hardbound. Blue cloth with gilt letters on spine, glossy blue & color illus. dust jacket. 136 pp., over 750 color and bw illustrations. "Tinglazed earthenware was first made in England in 1567. It is known that 'Paving Tyles' were being made from this early period and continued to be produced for the next one hundred years. It was not until the second half of the 17th century that the use of tinglazed wall tiles became popular but at first the demands were fulfilled from Holland. London potters began to produce their own tiles from about 1680 onwards and other centres at Bristol and Liverpool were soon to follow suit. The trade in tiles flourished throughout the 18th century, the English products being notable for the wide variety of designs; the Liverpool factories in particular proved to be the source of new techniques and innovations which outstripped their Dutch competitors. The tiles in this catalogue have been gathered together over a ten year period from numerous sources which include the Lipski and Hodgkin collections. Added to these have been generous loans from museums and private individuals and it is hoped that this catalogue will prove an invaluable source of reference for the further research into Englis tinglazed tiles."
