This delightful book examines the graphics found on all kinds of
children's alphabet ware, along with fascinating histories of the
firms that produced it. Primarily made in nineteenth century
Britain, America, and Germany, these ceramic plates, metal table
and flatware, glass dishes, and mugs are considered a reflection of
the technologies, values, and styles of the Victorian era.
Alphabetically arranged, the twenty-six lettered chapters each tell
part of the story: A begins the tale with a bit of American
history, B tells of the early bonfires and nineteenth century
bottle ovens, C discusses commercialism, D displays deep dishes, E
reviews the role of the ware in educating the young ... and so on,
all the way to Z. The extensively researched text is accompanied by
over 1000 stunning photographs of these historic pieces, with
detailed captions providing measurements, information on
manufacturers and marks, circa dates, and current values. A must
for every enthusiast's library, this unique and comprehensive text
guides readers through every aspect of collecting alphabet ware.
