1 comments about Collecting Poole Pottery.
- On the whole Collecting Poole Pottery by Robert Prescott-Walker is a useful but flawed book. The written history gives a good "in a nut shell" account of the Poole company from the 1850's to the 1980's, while a section in the back titled 'Recent Trends and Developments' gives a little information on Poole in the nineties. It could however have included a bit more information on the Delphis range (OK that's my favourite) and have been a bit more systematic in its approach.
My main complaint lies with the photographs and how they are arranged and labelled. The order is roughly chronological but somewhat haphazard. On page 90 for instance we go from plates and pots of the 70's and 90's to seven pages of tiles in chronological order, to some pots and animals of the 20's through to 50's, and then on to some70's Delphis...why?. Would it not be better to just have a section on tiles, a section on 50's pottery, a section on Delphis and so on. Each section could have a series of well-labelled shots of typical Poole pottery of that era or range, including size\s and shape numbers. I would have also liked a more comprehensive list of marks and at least some list of painters\ paintresses and their marks, particularly of the Delphis range. Delphis and Aegean have become highly collectable and in my humble opinion could have had a section to themselves. These small criticisms aside Collecting Poole Pottery is a useful and informative book for those interested in this beautiful pottery. You certainly won't find better value for money on the subject. If only someone would bring out a book purely on the Delphis range I'd be happy.

1 comments about Italian Maiolica in the National Museums of Scotland (National Museums of Scotland Information Series No 5).
- This book has been very useful to me as a research tool for Renaissance Italian Maiolica. I especially love that this book includes multiple images of some of the pieces. It is nice to see what is on the bottom of a plate or on the back of a drug jar instead of having just a description. I wish that more of the images in this book were in color, but the black and white images are very clear. This book is very useful as a design reference.
