Printed for Private Circulation, 1891. This rare volume is a response to published criticism of his book, Japanese Pottery (also for sale on this website), and in particular by a Professor Morse. Presumably so stung by this criticism, the author funded this privately printed rebuttal at considerable expense. Hardback, cream coloured with red lettering and a gilt Japanese blossom tree. The rear covers features a red Japanese 'sun' symbol. Cover is a bit mottled and bumped and worn at corners. Text is generally very good with some spotting. Contains a small number of plates and illustrations, which include 2 x chromolithograph coloured plates. 64pp. A fascinating glimpse into the Victorian scholarly era. Dimensions: 220mm high x 150mm wide x 45mm deep., Books<

Newark, New Jersey: W. P. Jervis, 1896. Hardcover. G (Some wear to cloth. Corners bumped. Hinges taped but holding. Pages very clean.). Burgundy cloth over boards, with gilt titling at front cover; 112 pp.; Profusely illustrated. Includes information about mostly European pottery (Bow, Chelsea, Spode, Royal Danish, Delft, and much more) but also American, Chinese, and Japanese. Includes marks and monograms., W. P. Jervis, 1896, 2.5, London: George Redway. Full vellum binding with gold lettering. The vellum is bowing a bit which I am sure all the copies made are susceptible to this as the boards underneath the vellum are not thick enough to prevent this from happening. Other than that is a nice bright copy. The pages are Japanese vellum. . G+. Full-Leather. 1st Edition. 1896., George Redway, 1896, 2.5, 1891. Art - Japanese. A VINDICATION OF THE DECORATED POTTERY OF JAPAN by James L. Bowes. Privately printed, 1891. 4to., 64pp., illustrated.
