[Rarebooks] FS: Pennsylvania German Tulip Ware Pottery - Barber Classic 1/300 Copies

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"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 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. [417/42821]  $250
