British Manufacturing Industries

This volume on pottery and porcelain in the British Manufacturing Industries series draws on the expertise of Léon Arnoux (1816-1902), the French-born ceramic chemist and art director of Minton’s at Stoke-on-Trent, where he revived majolica and raised English china to rival the Continent. Arnoux explains the materials, glazes, and history of the potter’s art for the educated Victorian reader. The series gathered such authorities to survey the trades that built industrial Britain.
