"Discovering
Dutch Delftware" is an excellent resource on the subject
of Delftware, particularly modern Dutch Delftware (1870-present).
The book provides a brief history of Delftware, an overview
of the modern Delftware industry, detailed information on
the two most important factories (De Porcelyene Fles and
Tichelaar Makkum), as well as marks and histories of over
seventy other factories.
There are 45 color photographs and over 140 black & white
photographs. It also provides the reader enough information
about the different factories to help categorize their pieces
into high quality, good quality, standard quality, and souvenir/tourist
classes.
Wonderfully researched and presented,
it's an indispensable resource for anyone interested in
Delftware. Written by Dr. Stephen J. Van Hook, it is available
for only $24.95. |
