Pottery and procelain, from early times down to the Philadelphia exhibition of 1876
A 1878 New York survey of pottery and porcelain from early times to the 1876 Philadelphia exhibition, written by Charles Wyllys Elliott and published by D. Appleton and Company for a general readership. The pictures are wood-engraved plates of vessels: a pedestal dish with pierced lattice, painted Greek-style jugs and jars, a banded storage vase with applied leaves, and fine porcelain cups and saucers with bird and floral decoration, useful for ceramic shape and surface pattern references.
