Ceramic Bygones And Other Unusual Domestic Pottery

How would one recognise an argyll, a trembleuse or a bachelor's set? And how can one identify a pineapple stand, a spoon warmer or a coach pot? Such items were in regular use in daily life in the nineteenth century and all were made of pottery. In Ceramic Bygones many such intriguing but obsolete items are described and illustrated.
