About this title

Synopsis

Colorful patterns of English transferware have graced homes around the world for nearly 200 years. In the 20th century major manufacturers like Crown Ducal, Enoch Wood, Royal Staffordshire, Royal Crownford, Alfred Meakin, Spode, Johnson Brothers, and Mason’s produced a large variety of patterns, styles and colors that are avidly collected today. With nearly 600 beautiful color photos of 2000 pieces illustrated, this book focuses on the most actively sought-after patterns, such as Crown Ducal’s “Bristol,” “Calico,” “Castles,” “Charlotte,” “English Chippendale,” “English Scenery,” “Friendly Village,” “Historic America,” “Italian,” “Liberty Blue,” “Old Britain Castles,” “Rose Chintz,” “Tonquin,” “Tower,” Vista,” and more. Place settings and serving pieces as well as rarer, more unusual pieces and those whose purpose was decorative are intcluded. Detailed pricing tables for major patterns and commentary of popular trends. All this and more make this an indispensible, long awaited addition to the collector’s library.
