n this fascinating volume, Geoffrey Godden shows how collectable and decorative New Hall porcelain really is. The factory produced over three thousand patterns which served to enhance a long series of attractive yet very functional forms. They span the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th and were especially welcomed for their excellence for a period of over 50 years from 1782 to 1835. The success of these pleasing Staffordshire porcelains in the market place helped to turn the Staffordshire Potteries, then famed only for earthenwares, into a porcelain producing centre of world importance. 83 colour & 511 b/w illustrations
