This book gives a very detailed look at the pottery of Portneuf. However it is more interesting for the fact that this pottery did not infact come from Quebec or even Canada, but Scotland. Throughout this book you will learn more about the history of the pottery and various types and styles. It is all accompanied by more than 70 illustrations.

The potters' views of Canada have a many-sided appeal, linking the world of artists, printmakers, and photographers to the ceramics industry. As part of material history, they reflect not only taste in the wares themselves - their bodies, colours, shapes - but also the changing More...ways of looking at things, from the romantic to the literal. Covering the period for the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of Queen Victoria's reign, this volume focuses chiefly on wares made for the dinner table or the washstand.

This is the book to have if you are, or want to be, a serious collector of Beauceware. It is really the first serious book detailing the great work of this famous French Canadian Pottery maker. At one point in history this was one of the largest pottery producers in Canada and was located in Quebec. The book contains over 1000 photo identifications of the pieces that were produced with their current values at the time of print.
