Description and Table of Contents
Description
This catalogue publishes in full the British Museum's collection of over 360 items of metalwork, ceramics and glass, from Europe and America, of the period 1850-1950. These range from William Burges's gothic-revival metalwork, and Russian porcelain of the Revolutionary years, to 25 pieces designed by Christopher Dresser. Much material from continental sources is made available in English, and every item is illustrated. Signatures, monograms and makers' marks are also reproduced.
