Mauchline Ware: A Collector's Guide

Little has previously been published about this highly collectible souvenir ware which was manufactured in Scotland between 1840 and 1939. Mauchline Ware is now widely collected around the world and prices are on the increase. Mauchline Ware -- A Collector's Guide is a much needed book on the subject and documents the history and manufacture of the ware, and catalogues the vast array of items which were produced in various shapes, sizes and finishes; a price guide is also included. Mauchline Ware appeals to a wide span of collectors as the articles are linked to activities such as sewing, smoking, reading and writing. The important connection between Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, and the town of Mauchline is also examined. 306 colour & 50 b/w illustrations
