Honey's famous book remains the standard general guide to English porcelain between 1745 and 1850. Much information has come to light from many different sources since the second edition appeared, and the third edition revised by Franklin Barrett has been eagerly awaited. The text, references, bibliography ad captions have been systematically expanded or modified where necessary to bring the book completely up to date and make it as useful and comprehensive as possible. Sixty-two new black-and-white plates and four colour plates have been added, so that the reader now has over 400 carefully chosen and typical specimens of porcelain to refer to. The new layout of the illustrations, which appear on right-hand pages only, will greatly help those wanting to use the book for quick reference.
