David Dunderdale and Company · 1796 · 62 pictures

A pattern book of earthenware shapes made at Castleford Pottery near Leeds by David Dunderdale and Company in 1796, issued with parallel French and Spanish titles for buyers abroad. The engraved plates show numbered jugs, ewers, covered sugar bowls, basins, vases, teacups and a bottle, drawn in clean outline with hatched shading on a pale ground. A designer could take from them the simple, period-accurate tableware silhouettes and the fluted and banded surface decoration of late eighteenth-century English ceramics.
