Les faïences anciennes et modernes; leurs marques et décors
A French book on pottery, Les faïences anciennes et modernes, written by Auguste Alexandre Mareschal and published in Paris in 1874 for collectors and students of ceramics. Its colour plates show ceramic decoration: a building and fruit motif, red-dotted border bands, floral and foliage repeats, and a brown-ground panel with a sprig of blossoms, offering designers period patterns for tiles and tableware.
