Crested China: The History of Heraldic Souvenir Ware by Sandy Andrews (1980)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the 1880s when Adolphus Goss, with little encouragement
from his august father W. H. Goss, first realized that by applying a crest of a
tourist center to one of the small white porcelain pots made by the Goss
Pottery he would produce the perfect quick selling souvenir, it could never
have occurred to him that he would start a craze.
This pristine miniatures made by the Goss works in porcelain were quickly copied by others in bone China and earthenware and it is the study of the wares and histories of these often less worthy but colorful competitors that has lead to the writing of this book.
Review: All
