A survey of the ceramic wares used by Canadians in the 19th Century. The book deals with both imported and Canadian made wares, setting them against the social, economic, and artistic background of the time. It tells of how the potters of Britain vigorously built up trade with British North America and how their wares travelled to the farthest outposts of a pioneer land. Also covers the popular "Historical China", "Port n euf" and the important potters of St. Johns, Quebec.

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 last in the collection of Canadian Ceramics Exhibition catalogs. There are 6 exhibition catalogs of the Canadian Guild of Potters with several black & white photos, lists of artists with the prices charged for their work. An excellent addition but very difficult to find.

This book or leaflet is just as the title states, it is a data base of Blue Mountain Pottery pieces. It is produced in table form, and lists in number order the entire works of Blue Mountain Pottery, however there are gaps as the creator did not have access to the complete company listing. There are additional phoographic sheets attached with this catalogue to help the reader or collector identify their piece. Probably hard to find on Abebooks.com, but you can try to email the author: Don M. Cross, BMPcollector (at) aol.com (Not sure if it is still working) Search this book on Abebooks |
