A history and description of French porcelain
A History and Description of French Porcelain, written by E. S. Auscher and William Burton and published in London and New York by Cassell and Company in 1905, is a general reference survey of French ceramics aimed at collectors and students of decorative art. The four plates show porcelain vases and urns with painted panels, pierced or floral borders, and gilt-bronze mounts, offering a designer useful reference for eighteenth-century French ornament such as scrolling foliage, medallion scenes, cobalt and turquoise grounds, and classical handles.
