=Barber, Edwin Atlee.= Salt glazed stoneware. (Primers of industrial art, v. 2.) **90c. Doubleday.
An authoritative treatment which “attempts to clear certain disputed points and correct some long-accepted traditions of ceramic writers which have been found to be erroneous. The characteristics of real salt glazed stoneware are briefly outlined and the origin of its manufacture related. The three divisions in the volume take up the stonewares of Germany and the low countries and other continental centres, the salt glazed wares of England—Fulham, Nottingham, Staffordshire, and Lambeth—and the stoneware of the United States.”—N. Y. Times.

=Barber, Edwin Atlee.= Tin enamelled pottery: maiolica, delft, and other stanniferous faience. (Art primer. Pennsylvania museum and school of industrial art, Phila.) **90c. Doubleday.
The first of a series designed to furnish in condensed form reliable information based on the latest discoveries relating to various industrial arts. In this first volume “descriptions are given of the maiolica of Italy, Spain, and Mexico; the delft wares of Holland and England, and the stanniferous faience of France, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, and Sweden. The pottery of the United States also comes in for brief consideration. A list is added of marks on pottery that are most familiar. Preceding the index is a table giving the principal features of tin enameled pottery in the different countries named in the volume.” (N. Y. Times.)
“The latest handbook of pottery usually reflects in epitome the taste of collectors of thirty years ago—a defect, if it is such, from which Dr. Barber’s monographs are not free.”
