<p>Catalogue of an exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1991. Rich glazes, mottled patterns, delicate relief, and inventive shapes combine to instill English 18th-century pottery with considerable charms. In presenting a distinguished Chicago-area collection of English pottery, this exhibition and catalogue aim to make these attractions known to a wider public. The collection of Harry A. Root has been selected with sensitivity to the characteristic properties and appealing variety of these wares. The catalogue includes an essay by Mr. Root on how he came to begin his collection and is illustrated with beautiful color and black-&-white photographs.</p>
