Bow Porcelain 1744-1776: A Special Exhibition of Documentary Material to Commemorate the Bi-Centenary of the Retirement of Thomas Frye

London, Trustees of the British Museum, 1959. First. Softcover. Color illustrated wraps, 55 pp. portrait frontispiece, and 55 bw illustrations. Issued in conjunction with a 1959-1960 exhibition. "The history of the Bow porcelain factory and its wares has yet to be written. The actual site of the Bow factory was discovered as long ao as March 1868, during building operations at Messrs. Bell & Black\'s match factory int he East-end of London on the Essex side of the River Lea at Stratford Langthorne -- not at Stratford-le-Bow (as the name suggests) which is just across the river in Middlesex -- and again in 1921 Mr. Aubrey Toppin, M. V. O. discovered on adjacent land a great quantity of kiln furniture, fragments of porcelain, moulds, etc. but still no complete and authoritative monograph has been published. Errors in attribution and dating are constantly being made for this reason. The purpose of this exhibition is to focus attention on this need and, by gathering together all known examples of dated specimens of Bow and other documentary material, to offer a solution to some of the problems and to stimulate new research."
