Coverage of English, factory-produced retro ceramics in the accessible literature is rather patchy. Some factories (e.g. Hornsea and Midwinter) are represented by magnificent and detailed reference works; others (e.g. Arthur Wood) are barely covered at all. The otherwise excellent books on Carlton Ware and Beswick (below) give little coverage of retro items, but are useful sources of general information on the factory. Books especially useful for the English retro collector are rated with a star (*). I have added links to the relevant pages on the internet bookseller amazon. Amazon.co.uk is for sterling (£) customers, amazon.com is for US$. BUYER BEWARE: Concerning the cover photos and editions listed below: I cannot guarantee that I am always listing the latest editions, or showing the most recent jacket photos. Please always check for new editions before ordering, and remember that the jacket illustration may change between editions. |
