Description: A good clean First Edition copy of "Tunbridge Ware and Related European Decorative Woodwares; Killarney, Spa, Sorrento", by Brian Austen, published by W.Foulsham of Slough, in 1989. In this fascinating work of scholarship, the author traces the history and development of the production of Tunbridge Ware together with a comprehensive section on Killarney Wares about which little has previously been published. Chapters dealing with the woodwares produced at Spa, Sorrento and in Scotland are also included. In providing a complete coverage of the mosaic and other tesserae techniques used in the industry, the author succeeds in filling an important gap in published information on the subject. Excellent, erudite text, accompanied by fine black and white and full color illustrations plus a number of most useful appendices. Hard covers, large format, 287 pages, original dust jacket. Ref.
