THIS BLESSED PLOT, THIS EARTH: English Pottery Studies in Honour of Jonathan Horne

This beautiful book celebrates the career of Jonathan Horne FSA MBE, an international authority on English pottery and for 40 years a London dealer at the top of his field. Bringing together many of the world’s leading scholars, curators and archaeologists, this book offers fresh insight and cutting-edge research in the field of English pottery and its historical context. The breadth and variety of papers, together with an extensive up-to-date bibliography, will provide an essential resource for scholars of British social history, archaeology and art history.

"Jonathan Horne was an international authority of English Pottery who had a wonderful reputation among collectors of early ceramics from here to Tokyo. Sadly, Horne is no longer with us and his loss and scholarship is felt keenly amongst fastidious collectors, archeologists, and connoisseurs world wide, many who have contributed the appreciative essays which make up this distinguished book devoted to his memory."
