Found some wonderful books this week at an estate sale. Excellent assortment of collectibles books. All in beautiful condition unless noted.
Excellent hard covered book with a dust jacket from 1978 with 435 pages. Royal Doulton Figures produced at Burslem 1890 to 1978. Published by Royal Doulton Tableware limited.
These items were produced in the Nile Street Pottery at Burslem. Book gives a wonderful history lesson on the Staffordshire and pottery from the 1870s. Influencial to Royal Doulton was John Doulton and George Tinworth.
Includes:
History of the pottery works
History of founders of the firm
Huge list of figure names from 1890 to 1978
colored photographs of hundreds of Douton figures
introduction dates
withdrawn dates
designer's names
Details of individual figures
Numbers and models of figures
and lots more.
The colored photos are wonderful in this book. Page after page of figures that I frankly have never seen at any auction (always see the balloon lady at auctions, very popular). Very interesting as some of the figures were smaller Dickens' figures, long ago discontinued. Excellent reference book.
Book was printed and bound in the UK.
Condition: Very good condition for its age 40+ years old. Dust jacket in very good condition with slight smudging and scuffing along edges but not large tears or damage. Also slight wear to top and bottom edges of dustjacket, understandable as it is a big heavy book, difficult to handle when shelving. Book has slight wear to edges, lower corners and slight bumping there. Upper corners a touch of bumping. Book is in beautiful condition thanks to the dustjacket, spine lettering a clear as day it was printed. No writing other than a bookplate on first page with first owner's name. Slight discoloration of pages from age, expected, but photos still crisp and clear. Spine tight and in very good shape.
Excellent book for those who collecting Royal Doulton figures from their beginning. Original price was $40, quite a lot in 1978!
