This book presents a thorough look at the multitude of fascinating
and beautiful ceramic forms produced by the British potter George
Jones and his firm, including majolica wares and "Abbey" blue and
white transfer printed ceramics. Over 700 color photographs amply
display the diverse table, tea, toilet, and ornamental ware types
produced by George Jones and his manufactory from the
mid-nineteenth century well into the twentieth. A detailed history
recording George Jones's life as a potter, the contributions of his
family members, and those of a number of artisans who designed and
decorated the firm's distinctive wares provides hours of absorbing
and enlightening reading as well. To help readers determine the age
of their George Jones wares with accuracy, registration dates for
many of the patterns and ceramic shapes are provided, along with
the various manufacturer's marks and their dates of usage. Values
for the wares, a detailed bibliography, and several appendices
round out the book Geoffrey Godden has called "...the ultimate work
on this Stoke firm."
