This book describes the evolution of both the factory and the delicate faience or earthenware. The book contains a short intro on the technique of firing porcelain and faience. The description of the faience is then divided into time periods, which makes it easily accesible for both the professional and the interested collector. It is richly illustrated with examples from the author’s own collection as well as from the collection of the factory itself. Includes makers and artists marks and a time line of the making of dinner services and their designers.
