 “Tulip Ware of the Pennsylvania-German Potters. An Historical Sketch of
the Art of Slip-Decoration in the United States”

By Edwin Atlee Barber.
Published in Philadelphia by the The Pennsylvania Museum and School of
Industrial Art in 1903.

Large-paper edition, limited to 300 copies.

A pioneering work on American pottery, by one of its most successful and
tireless early scholars and promoters. Barber, an original member of the
Walpole Society and the curator of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of
Industrial Art (to which he gave his extensive collection of American
ceramics), wrote pioneering works such as “The Pottery and Porcelain of
the United States” (1893), “Marks of American Potters” (1904), and “The
Ceramic Collectors’ Glossary” (1914).

Even more than a hundred years after he wrote it, Barber’s work on Tulip
Wares remains a standard reference and, as Strong (History of American
Ceramics) points out, “[Barber’s] usual thorough research is evident”.
Barber himself noted- “The writer, after ten years of research and
investigation, is enabled to give some account of at least a few of the
old establishments where the ware was produced and to fully identify many
of the best pieces in the collection”. Strong 352.

Hardcover. 7.5”x10.5”, 233 pages, 2 color plates and 93 black & white
illustrations.

Covers somewhat soiled. Some scattered light internal soil, rear hinge
neatly repaired.  $200~
