‎Porcelain production in Britain has always been privately funded, so factories would come and go depending on the business acumen of their managers and the depth of the pockets of their financial backers. Some of these small short-lived potteries did important pioneering work, although they are now lost to history. Only four early factories made it through a significant period of time and are therefore still well-known today: Chelsea, Bow, Derby and Worcester. Of these new English porcelain factories, many had grown out of the countless existing potworks where excellent earthenware was made, but several were started by enterprising immigrants. In Chelsea, a Walloon Huguenot silversmith called Nicholas Sprimont applied knowledge picked up in France to turn his silver dishes into porcelain. In Bow, Irish immigrant Thomas Frye conducted experiments in his friend?s backyard using ?Cherokee clay? imported all the way from America.‎

‎Chinese pottery and porcelain. From Prehistory to the Present.‎

‎<p>Chinese pottery and porcelain is a comprehensive survey of the development of Chinese ceramics from the Neolithic period to the present day. Assessing the roles pottery has played throughout the history of China, this book also discusses its impact on the ceramic industries of the rest of the world. From the earliest earthenwares to the exotic burial figures of the Tang, from the classic forms and subtle glazes of the Song to the famous porcelains created especially for export or imperial tastes, the book draws upon the collections of the British Museum for illustrations.</p> Italie, 1991 British Museum 240 p., illustrations couleur, relié sous jaquette 20 x 26‎
