E. LLOYD THOMAS ISBN 0 7223 1103-6 Published in 1978, this 6”x 9” book contains 244 pages plus 141 black and white plates. There are also 6 colour plates and four line drawings within the body of the text. This book first appeared when the Torquay Pottery Collectors Society was just two years old and, not surprisingly, the considerable amount of research that has been undertaken since its publication makes it slightly dated in parts. Nevertheless, it remains the most complete and definitive work on the subject and essential reading for any serious collector of Torquay wares. Perhaps the book's major weakness is the absence of colour in its many, otherwise beautifully reproduced, plates but this is more than compensated for by the weight of research and its readability. Each of the potteries is dealt with in some depth and examples of many mottoes are given. The examples of pottery marks are somewhat incomplete and it is suggested that readers consult the Torquay Pottery Mark Book. This publication is available to members at £19.00 by post. Prices apply to the United Kingdom only; additional overseas postage will be charged at cost. If you would like to purchase this publication, click here to send your order to the Shop Manager. |
