Histoire de la céramique: poteries, faiences et porcelaines chez tous les peuples depuis les temps anciens jusqu'à nos jours

Garnier, Edouard, 1840-1903 · 1882 · Tours, A. Mame et fils · 17 pictures

A French history of ceramics by Édouard Garnier, published in Tours by Mame in 1882, surveying pottery, faience and porcelain from ancient times onward for a general readership. The engravings show vessels in plain black-and-white line: a bottle-shaped flask with a scrolled band, a lidded ewer with interlaced foliage, a dark Greek-style amphora with a standing draped figure, and a jar patterned with blossoms, useful for designers studying historic ornament and vessel silhouettes.
