Description

EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH PORCELAIN – A Selection from the Godden Reference Collection
by Geoffrey Godden, Granada Publishing Ltd., England, 1985.
”This handsome volume provides a unique opportunity for everyone interested in English porcelain to benefit from the wealth of knowledge, experience and devotion that Geoffrey Godden has put into assembling his internationally renowned Reference Collection.”
The author “presents three pieces from each of the main English eighteenth-century porcelain factories as examples not of rarity but of characteristic types.  He gives the reasons for singling out each object, pointing out its particular features, explaining why it is in the Godden collection and describing the circumstances of its purchase.  The pieces are shown in color and in black-and-white, with numerous detailed photographs to illustrated key points, often including the generally unseen base. “
”The selection, which is a very personal one, also includes examples of English decoration on Chinese porcelains; ceramic decoration by Fidelle Duvivier and James  Giles; printed wares; fakes; reproductions and redecorated porcelains.  Specialist reference book are listed so that readers may delve deeper, and there is even a section on ‘Some Collecting Mistakes’.  In all there are 115 entries, numbered for easy reference.”
Makers include Chelsea, Bow, Newcastle, Staffordshire, Lunds-Bristol, Longton Hall, Derby, Worcester, Liverpool, Lowstoft, Plymouth, Caughley, Chamberlain-Worcester, Pinxton, Coalport and many others.
