What reading level is English Pottery Its Development From Early Times to the End of the Eighteenth C book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Amongst the stoneware potteries of the provinces we must speak first of the small venture carried on at York, at the Manor House, by Francis Place, who died in 1728. The only specimen of his ware that we can point to with certainty is the small cup (Fig. 135) now in the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was at one time in the possession of Horace Walpole at Strawberry Hill, and is authenticated by a label in his handwriting as the work of Place. If it were not for this document we should ascribe t...he cup to the pottery of Dwight ; like some of his marbled wares it is of a light stone grey with markings of darker grey and brown. It is remarkable for its delicate finish and the thinness, almost to translucency, of its walls. We must here refer very briefly to the improvements on Place's manufacture said to have been made by " one Clifton. " It has been suggested that certain white porcelain mugs of the same form as the Fulham mug illus- trated in Fig. 140 represent these improvements ;^ there can, however, be no doubt that these mugs, at one time claimed also for Tschirnhausen, the experimenter who worked with Bottger the discoverer of Meissen porcelain, are examples of blanc de Chine in which the Oriental potters have adopted a Western shape.
