CHELSEA PORCELAIN – THE TRIANGLE AND RAISED ANCHOR WARES
by F. Severne Mackenna, F. Lewis, Ltd., England, 1948/1969.
One of the most comprehensive and thoroughly researched monographs published, this early out-of-print book provides a scholarly study of antique English Chelsea porcelain. Illustrated with 113 back-and-white captioned photographs, this book reviews the history and early manufacture of porcelain at Chelsea. It studies the characteristics of design, reviews the background of the artists and workmen involved in the porcelain’s manufacture, evaluates the marks and dates of this early production, and finally discusses reproductions and fakes. A collector’s item in itself, this hard-to-find book belongs in the permanent reference library of the serious collector, dealer, curator or historian of antique English china.
