PREFACE: "This book completes the series of English ceramic art which began with Old China and was continued in Old Pottery. Of course salt-glaze stoneware belongs to the pottery division, but no special attention had, hitherto, been devoted to this attractive subject, although the masterpieces produced by John Dwight have won, by sheer merit, the foremost place amongst others from the hands of the great master-potters. His attention was directed to the improvement of the quality, form and style of the plastic art of his time, and he was so successful that he attracted many imitators, and to him the potteries owed the inspiration which led to their development. The story of this is told at some length, though the materials at our disposal are not complete. How-ever, salt-glaze stoneware flourished for many years".
