What reading level is Spode And His Successors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Staffordshire has somewhat neglected her old masters. Spode's English robustness was his character- istic. We have his sporting jugs, with horses and hounds and huntsmen, in relief; his lustre ware, perhaps before anyone else in Staffordshire had made this class of pottery ; and his Toby jugs, some of them with his impressed mark. It is not impossible that the Hogarthian style, shown on old Staffordshire painted jugs and mugs, were his handiwork. He was versatile, quickly perceptive, perfect in... technique, and wide in outlook. It was Josiah Spode who in 1785 brought that English art of transfer printing to perfection in Stafford- shire. Wedgwood sent his cream ware to Liver- pool to be printed by Sadler and Green. Spode and others set about to get the art into Stafford- 12 shire. Credit must be given to Adams of Cob- ridge for his introduction of overglaze blue print- ing into Staffordshire, but Josiah Spode was first in Staffordshire with blue underglaze printing, in conjunction with John Turner of Lane End, fol- lowed afterwards by William Adams of Green- gates, and Thomas Minton of Stoke, later.
