During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, American potters were
struggling to produce quality ceramics to rival that of the English and
French. Knowles, Taylor & Knowles took up the challenge, determined to
produce a bone china that would be the pride of America. Highly regarded
in its day, Knowles, Taylor & Knowles made Belleek Ware, Lotus Ware, and
China Whiskey Jugs which are prized possessions among collectors today.
Here is a book to inspire dealers and collectors alike. Valuable
information concerning the identification of the various wares, the
manufacturer's marks, decorative techniques, artists and the current
values is included. Each phase of the company's production is
illustrated in 245 color photographs.
