The Illustrated Guide to Worcester Porcelain 1751-1793 - SANDON, Henry. - SIGNED Third edition. "The first book to take into account the revolutionary discoveries made by the author when directing excavations at the factory site. Excavations at Warmstry House during 1977-9 have been important in confirming the results of earlier digs, in extending knowledge of the wares produced and the processes involved. The second edition included a drawing of painters' marks found on site wasters and this new edition has provided the opportunity of re-dating some of the pieces illustrated and bringing other information up to date." Colour frontispiece + 8 further colour plates, 149 black & white plates and 4 figure illustrations. Brown cloth, dust-wrapper slightly sunned to spine. Programmes for Rochdale and District Antique Collectors Society 1974-75 & 1978-79 laid in, both list the author as a contributor. Inscribed with doodle of a smiling teapot by Henry Sandon to front free endpaper.
