Marks on Pottery and PorcelainFrom the author's Preface:"I have written on the theory that the reader knows nothing even of the rudiments of the art, and have tried to give a simple and intelligible account of the several departments, so that the book may be of interest and value to the inexperienced possessor of a few inherited specimens of old china or crockery, as well as to the laborious collector. In selecting specimens for illustration from my own and other collections, and from European works, it seemed to give greater practical value to the book to illustrate, generally, characteristic work of various countries and factories, such as…

"PEPPER AND SALT" - or, Seasoning for Young Folk by Howard Pyle with its original dust jacket. 1913; Harper and Brothers; New York. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout by Pyle. There are eight short stories in all. The dust jacket comes with a clear protective sleeve (not shown).From the dust jacket: "These stories are told by a jolly old jester who lays aside his cap and bells and settles down to entertain the children.

The illustrations, drawn by one of the greatest illustrators who ever lived - the author himself - are both rollicking and lovely, and perfectly complete this gay and clever and altogether…
