      Table of Contents

      As "

      The Keramic Gallery

      by the late William Chaffers forms a pictorial supplement to his book

      Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain

      , so likewise this work,

      Handbook to Keramics

      , which is an abridged edition of

      The Keramic Gallery

      , is intended to form a companion volume of illustrations to

      The Collector’s Handbook of Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain

      ."

      Whilst it has been found necessary on account of their size to omit some of the larger illustrations, which appear in the second edition of "

      The Keramic Gallery

      ," care has been taken to give representations, as far as possible, of each individual kind of pottery and porcelain, which have been produced in the various foreign and English manufactories from the Renaissance period down to the middle of the nineteenth century.

      Brief accounts, extracted from the larger volume, of the various manufactories are also given, with a view to help in establishing the period to which any specimen may belong.

      It is hoped that this little work may prove to be of assistance to the Collector in identifying those specimens of Keramics bearing no marks, which may, from time to time, be brought under his notice.
