Description
This book covers the formative years of Victoria’s porcelain industry, bridging the 19th and 20th centuries. The new primary research would have been largely impossible without the advances in digital technology. The scanning of newspapers and all manner of historical records has revolutionised research procedures, resulting in responses to word searches which were previously a figment of one’s imagination.
An extension of the book’s preoccupation with domestic wares is the focus on individuals primarily involved with its production. This includes substantial biographical information on important potters, modellers, designers or the industrial chemists and scientists who worked in those companies.
The book has been divided chronologically into individual porcelain works, showing and evolution of the industry.
