The keramic gallery : containing several hundred illustrations of rare, curious and choice examples of pottery and porcelain from the earliest times to the beginning of the present century
The Keramic Gallery, a catalogue of pottery and porcelain compiled by William Chaffers and published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1872 for collectors and students of ceramics. Its pages are black-and-white photographic plates, each showing a single plate, dish or covered vessel photographed against a dark ground, with the decoration rendered in clear tonal detail that a designer could study for motifs, borders and figure scenes.
