Facon-Zeitung für Töpfer, Fayence-, Steingut-, Topfwaaren- und Ofen- Fabrikanten: monatliche Mustersammlung der modernsten und geschmackvollsten Formen von Topf- und Fayence-Geschirren, Oefen, Ofentafeln und Ornamenten aller Art
A monthly pattern collection published in 1847 by Heidelberg University Library's digitised series, aimed at potters, faience and stoneware makers, and stove manufacturers, showing the latest shapes of pottery, stoves and ornament. The pictures are measured architectural and decorative plates of capitals, vase profiles, cornice mouldings and painted friezes, drawn in line or flat colour. A designer could take ready-made classical ornament, such as acanthus scrolls, palmette fans and rosette borders, for period-correct decorative motifs.
