Miller’s Collecting Blue and White Pottery by Gillian Neale (Octopus Publishing, London, c2004, $29.95, 160 pages) takes a different approach to the transfer-printed wares of the 19th century. The unusual shapes and patterns are shown and the manufacturers’ histories are given. An asparagus and butter dish, smoker’s set, warming dish, menu holder, and even a dog dish are shown. Prices are included.
