Summary
Details

""Chinese Porcelain and Wedgwood Pottery With Other Works of Ceramic Art"" is an exhaustive and scholarly record of the magnificent collection housed in the Lady Lever Art Gallery. Authored by the renowned expert R. L. Hobson, this work provides a meticulous survey of the ceramic masterpieces acquired by the first Viscount Leverhulme. The volume offers deep insights into the history and craftsmanship of Chinese porcelain, tracing its development through various dynasties, alongside a comprehensive examination of the iconic English wares produced by the Wedgwood factory.

Beyond these primary focuses, the book explores a diverse range of other ceramic arts, illustrating the breadth and quality of one of Britain's most significant private collections. Readers will find detailed descriptions and historical context for each piece, making it an essential reference for students of art history, collectors, and enthusiasts of fine ceramics. The work serves as both a tribute to the discerning eye of Lord Leverhulme and a foundational text for the study of international ceramic traditions. This catalog remains a vital resource for understanding the interplay between Eastern and Western decorative arts and the history of grand-scale art collecting in the early twentieth century.
