PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Everyone knows the beauty and value of Tiffany glass lamps, vases and windows. But few know that the masterful pieces fron the Tiffany Studios would not have been possible without Arthur Nash, developer of the now-priceless Favrile glass, and his son Leslie, director of the Studio's division of glassmaking, pottery and enamel. Leslie's memoirs, along with notes and references, tell the unfiltered and refreshing story of the Studio's heyday, and substantially expand our knowledge, and his photos comprise the largest collection of here-to-fore unseen images of the studio's earliest pieces. This historical find is an event in the decorative arts world and will appeal to both collectors and museums and those who use e-bay and watch "Antiques Road Show."

The blue and white tradition is the oldest in porcelain and the most collectable; pieces are on the market in quantity and at every level of affordability. This text, intended for both the avid collector and armchair enthusiast, gives a piece-by-piece overview, supplying a breakdown of the different dates and areas of blue and white china, from Chinese export-ware of the mid-16th century to European transfer-printed pieces of the late-19th century. Some of the most exquisite porcelain of the great European factories was produced in blue and white patterns and the best is illustrated and discussed, including examples from the Meissen, Spode, Bow, Worcester and St. Cloud factories. Close-up photographs and artworks are used to pinpoint details and provide precise keys to dating.
