[Vases]  Price List and Illustrated Catalogue of Antique Pottery Known 
as the Albert Ware.  $125

Published by A.H. Hews & Co. of North Cambridge (Mass.) in 1877.

“Albert Ware” designs were copied from ancient sources, described in the 
introduction, such as Schliemann’s excavations at Troy and the Cesnola 
Collection of pottery from Cyprus. Each of the 130 designs is pictured 
as a terra cotta colored silhouette. The ware was undecorated, pottery 
painting being the “in” thing amongst the Victorian middle class, and 
the catalog also offers pants, a [painting stand, and other 
accoutrements, as well as offers for bulk purchases from ladies clubs 
wishing to make large orders.

Softcover. 6.5”x4.25”, 14 pages plus 16 red monochrome plates and 2 
black & white plates, plus an additional black & white illustration. 
Covers with some wear and soil, corner chip, rear cover lacking. Pages 
with minor soil.  [45562]
