"Pottery and Porcelain, from Early Times Down to the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876" by Charles Wyllys Elliott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the history, techniques, and artistry of pottery and porcelain through various civilizations and eras, culminating in the context of the Philadelphia exhibition. It aims to present the significance and beauty of these crafts not only to collectors but also to a broader audience interested in the cultural and artistic heritages tied to pottery and porcelain. The opening of the book sets the stage for an extensive examination of pottery, starting from prehistoric times and advancing through ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Elliott discusses the evolution of pottery techniques, the materials used, and the cultural significance of pottery artifacts that reveal details about the societies that created them. He introduces key examples from various cultures, noting how pottery not only served practical purposes but was also an important aspect of artistic expression, reflecting the values and daily lives of the people. This introductory portion thus offers readers a scholarly and inspirational perspective on the art of pottery and porcelain, setting up a comprehensive exploration that follows in the subsequent chapters.
