About This Item
London: HMSO, 1994. Third Impression. Softcover. VG- (Outer spine has faded or changed color; book has slight soiling to edges of book block, page surfaces are nice.). Pale yellow & illus. wraps. xii, 330 pp. 564 bw plates. "Illustrated from the Twining Teapot Gallery, Norwich Castle Museum." "Tea-drinking became a British passion about 1700. This book charts the rise of the great national habit, and shows how and why an exotic luxry came to become part of the staple diet. It evokes the splendour and etiquette of the Georgian tea ceremony and its lasting effects both on patterns of social behaviour and on fine tableware. ... The 564 teapots described and illustrated here range in date from 1720 to 1850. They are drawn from the Twining Teapot Gallery at Norwich Castle Museum, which houses the greatest specialist collection of British ceramic teapots in the world. They cover the whole range of pottery and porcelain in production during this period, and the text includes the result of much recent research which has lef to changes in attribution. The drawings of moulded details will prove particularly useful for making identifications." (back cover).
