Publisher's Note
This new publication on Liverpool porcelain of the eighteenth century provides a feast of illustrations which fully complement the text. Much of the research in this monograph is entirely new, in particular the attempt to separate a group of pieces that could be the products of the Brownlow Hill factory under William Reid and later under William Ball and then James Pennington. The Chaffers' factory on Shaw's Brow is given its deserved prominence in the production of both bone ash and soapstone-containing porcelains. The Gilbody manufactory, next door to chaffers' factory on Shaw's Brow, is shown to have made porcelain which could compete in quality with the finest pieces made anywhere else in England. The subject of Liverpool figures has not been fully discussed until now and the wide range of models may come as a surprise to many. Recent excavations in London on the factory sites of Vauxhall and Limehouse have established the origins of two groups which were once tentatively ascribed to Liverpool and have given greater cohesion to the remaining Liverpool porcelains. Collectors of Liverpool may still be able to find rare and unrecorded examples, perhaps to a greater extent than is now possible with any other of the eighteenth century porcelain manufactories. The wide diversity of ware produced in this city, as evidenced by the generous monochrome and colored illustrations in this book, can still cause surprise and delight to those who seek them.
