Deutsche Fayencen und deutsches Steingut : ein Handbuch für Sammler und Liebhaber
A German-language handbook on pottery, written by August Stoehr and published in Berlin by R.C. Schmidt in 1920 for collectors and enthusiasts of German faience and stoneware. The black-and-white photographs show individual vessels photographed against dark backgrounds, so their glazes and painted decoration read clearly. A designer could draw on the blue-and-white floral plate, the baroque gourd vase with figure scenes, and the neoclassical covered tureen with its cameo medallion and scroll handles for ornament and form.
