Abstract
IT is a pleasure to welcome this competent, scholarly, and interesting account of that renowned pottery-work of the Dutch craftsmen and artists which exercised such a profound and quickening influence on the potter's art as it was practised in all the countries of northern and central Europe, especially during the course of the eighteenth century. We already possess, in English, quite a number of small handbooks which treat of this important subject; but here, at last, a volume is presented which may be acclaimed as worthy and complete in its text, and is also so handsomely illustrated as to satisfy every requirement of the collector.
Old, Dutch Pottery and Tiles.
