decoration patterns are also included. In addition to the large number 
of manufacturers, many of their designers, decorators and others are 
also recorded. Many moved from one company to another. An extensive 
list, of some 2000 names and occupations, now makes it possible to trace 
their places of work and their period of employment.To assist in clearly

monograms of their decorators. Given the wealth of information, the high 
quality of the photography and the care with which it has been produced, 
this three-volume, large-format edition will be indispensable for Gouda 
Pottery collectors around the world and a source of reading and viewing

Pottery in particular."
