Excerpt from The Wedgwood Handbook: A Manual for Collectors; Treating of the Marks, Monograms, and Other Tests of the Old Period of Manufacture; Also Including the Catalogues, With Prices Obtained at Various Sales, Together With a Glossary of Terms I have classified the different kinds and styles of vases and given fully, as I hope it will be found, not only their history, but also those characteristics of material, colour, ornament, and general finish, so necessary to the purpose of identification and arrangement. So far as I could, I have attached the date and designer's name to the more impor tant has-reliefs and this would have been done to a much larger extent had the bills of Flaxman and other modellers been preserved. There will be also found a considerable and most interesting list of hitherto uncatalogued bas reliefs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
