About this Item

Some pages have light markings (see pictures for an example - mostly small dashes next to particular items; there are also a couple words circled). The pages are tanning a bit from age. The dust jacket has a couple of small tears, some light wear, and light creasing. The rear inside flap has a heavier crease running from the top to the bottom (see pictures). The pages have a light bend / wave in middle where it looks like they folded over very slightly. See pictures for more details.

For twenty years he tutored courses on the history of pottery and porcelain at Morley College for the University of London Extra-Mural Department. He was the president of the Morley College Ceramic Circle and a founder lecturer for the National Association of Decorative and Fine Art Societies. William Bowyer Honey (1889-1956) was Keeper of the Department of Ceramics at the Victoria and Albert Museum from 1938 to 1950. He wrote many books and monographs about ceramic art, as well as publishing verse anthologies. He was appointed CBE in 1951.
