A fascinating little catalog, issued by a firm of dealers in antique china who were looking to purchase transferware in the very, very early years of its collectability. This is not a catalog of antique transferware and other china they offered for sale- it is a catalog listing what they wanted to buy and what they were willing to pay. The prices they paid ranged from $1.00 to $10.00 for pieces, which are described very briefly, usually with a note on the view or decoration. The text is illustrated with some crude, small woodcuts (see below for an example). A rather unusual and interesting early transferware item. Softcover. 5.5”x8.75”, 23 pages, small woodcut illustrations, decorated covers; light wear and soil (see photos), a short tear in the cover, but a nice copy of a fragile item printed on thin paper. - QUESTIONS about this item?
