A thoroughly detailed and perfect introduction to the different designs created, "Maling and Other Tyneside Pottery" provides the opportunity to marvel at the beauty of such craftsmanship. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Codice articolo GOR001662937
