Introducing a comprehensive, multi-volume work that catalogs the
enormous range of enamel-painted figures made predominantly in the
Staffordshire Potteries between 1780 and 1840, Volume 1 covers
figures portraying people's pastimes and work. It includes over 900
brilliant color photos of pottery, as well as information about its
makers and design sources and a guide to values. The attributes of
all known makers' work are explored, as are those of groups of
related figures whose makers remain anonymous. Some figures in this
volume portray the pastimes of gardening, reading, and music, while
others depict shepherds and shepherdesses, other farm workers,
vendors, and people engaged in a host of trades and occupations.
Many of these figures are hauntingly beautiful and have long been
hidden from the public eye. Fashioned in an era before photography,
they give us rare glimpses of a world that has vanished. To hold
one is to touch the past.
