Herculaneum Pottery: Liverpool's Forgotten Glory
Peter Hyland
This book is a scholarly and comprehensive study of the Herculaneum pottery, which flourished in Liverpool from about 1800 to 1820. Herculaneum, perhaps more than any other English pottery, catered to the American market. Perhaps their location at the port of Liverpool gave them a strategic advantage in the export market. Today, Herculaneum pottery, with its many American themes, is highly sought after in this country. This book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of those collectors, as well as all serious students of ceramics. Building on the seminal work of Alan Smith, Peter Hyland's study draws on new scholarly research and recent excavations to reveal the extensive range of wares and decorations made at the Herculaneum factory. This new edition is illustrated with a wealth of full-color images, and it will stand as the definitive text on Herculaneum pottery.
