Description:

British Delft at Williamsburg catalogs the collection of more than seven hundred museum-quality examples acquired by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation during the past sixty years, in many instances relating them to several hundred of the thousands of archaeological fragments excavated in Virginia's colonial capital and on nearby sites. Presenting the objects in categories according to their use, John C. Austin discusses the period utilization of the various forms, identifying them, when possible, with the names of the objects commonly employed at that time. He also compares and contrasts the pieces with other examples in public and private collections in America and England.
