Description

SPODE TRANSFER PRINTED WARE 1784-1833
by David Drakard and Paul Holdway, Antique Collector’s Club, London, 2002.
”The first edition of “Spode Printed Ware,” originally published in 1983 and now long out of print, listed and illustrated four hundred and forty-five Spode prints in three categories of Bat printing, Pluck and Dust printing and underglaze blue printing.  At the time it offered the most definitive and comprehensive coverage of the subject.”
”Now available again in a new, enlarged edition, every Spode transfer print known to the authors at the time of publication is listed and illustrated.  Their expanded, illustrated list includes not only all those prints appearing in the first edition but adds a further one hundred examples found in the intervening years by numerous private collections.”
”More than three hundred and fifty additional illustrations are also included in this edition covering the shapes of ware found with print designs, Spode marks found on the ware and methods of manufacture used both in the past and still practiced today.  A more liberal use of color, particularly in the undergalze transfer printed section of the book, a total of over nine hundred illustrations and an authoritative and informative text, combine to make this publication as outstanding as the printed wares in features.  This book is certain to establish itself as an essential work of reference for Spode collectors, museums, art and antique collectors, dealers and auctioneers.”
