Welcome to CeramicsBooks.Com

We specialise in selling books about antique and modern ceramics, we offer a wide range of book titles, both new and used, covering British earthenwares, stonewares and porcelain as well as non British pottery too.

Our aim is to provide a rich source of material for the ceramics collector and researcher as well as essential reference books for antiques dealers. Many of the books we deal in are out of print and many are scarce or rare, some books are published in very small numbers (from around 250 to 1000 copies). Our policy is to source books and journals from a wide range of sources including small publishers, societies & groups and even directly from authors. We hope that this commitment to obtaining as wide a range of books and other publications as possible dedicated to all things ceramic and offering them from a single site will provide a useful source of research material for authors, collectors, students and researchers of British and other pottery and porcelain.

Bibliography:

Over the years we have built up a large bibliography of pottery and porcelain books. This was a research tool used for private purposes but we have decided to make this resource available for free to users of this site. The bibliography is searchable using your browsers ‘Find’ function and includes far more information about each book than is usually found (such as number of illustrations, subject list etc.). A basic version is now available which will be updated regularly with more books as time permits.

Image Gallery:

We have also made available for viewing a large gallery of original photographic images of ceramics from the Bohanna Collection. This collection, built up over 20 years at least, includes many neglected wares such as treacleware (so-called Rockingham), felspathic stoneware, black basalt, yellow transfer printed brownware (formerly incorrectly called Portobello ware), Jackfield (shining black), red stoneware, saltglazed stoneware, mochaware and banded wares as well as others.

Publishers, Museums, Societies, Collectors and Authors

We are always looking to include more book titles on this site and would be happy to negotiate buying unsold or overstock books, remainders, back-issues, new publications, journals and newsletters etc.. We can help to promote your books to a wider audience.

We also buy second-hand ceramics books from single copies to entire collections. If you have any ceramics titles that you wish to sell then please contact us for an appraisal and fair offer.
