Antique British & European Pewter – Makers Periods Types Etc / Scarce Hrdbk Book

Description

”…precious little has been published for the American reading public which deals with pewter made outside this country. Curiously enough, however, until the author began the preparation of this book, it had, apparently, occurred to no one to outline the salient characteristics which distinguish the pewterware of one country from another, or the ware of Great Britain as a whole from that of the Continent in general and in particular. The performing of just that service is the purpose of the pages, which follow. For obvious reasons, all discussions of American pewter has been avoided.”
