ano, _Spanish Arts_, Victoria and Albert Museum Handbook, pp. 149-151; and _Sobre la manera de fabricar la antigua loza dorado de Manises_ (1878). [14] See examples in colour, Plate VI. [15] There is ample documentary evidence to prove how largely the lustred pottery of Spain was imported into Italy from the 12th century onwards; and it is important to note in this connexion that almost all the fine examples of Hispano-Moresque in our modern collections have been obtained from the palaces of ancient Italian families. [16] Piccolpasso, _I tre libri dell' arte del Vasajo_, dated 1548. It has been several times translated both into modern Italian and French. The English reader will find an excellent abstract of this interesting MS. in the volumes on _Majolica_ by Drury E. Fortnum. [17] For a full account of the lustre process see Franchet, _Comptes rendus_ for December 1905, and W. Burton, _Society of Arts Journal_, 2846, vol. lv., 1907. [18] See Magne, _Le Palais de Justice de Poitiers_ (Paris, 1904); also Solon in _Burlington Magazine_ (November 1907). [19] See B. Fillon, _Les Faiences d'Oiron_ (1862). [20] See E. Bonaffe, _Les Faiences de Saint-Porchaire_ (1898). [21] See examples in colour, Plate X. [22] An excellent summary of the remains of English medieval pottery will be found in Hobson's "Medieval Pottery found in England," _Archaeological Journal_, vol. lix. [23] Bottger at Meissen made a similar ware as his prelude to the discovery of white porcelain, but this was after Dwight's death. [24] For a discussion of the stages through which this was achieved the reader is referred to special works, such as Prof. A.H. Church's _English Earthenware_, and W. Burton's _English Earthenware and Stoneware_. [25] It is amusing or annoying to find in European museums the wares of Wedgwood, Turner, Adams and one of the Leeds potteries, all lumped together as "Wedgwood," and yet one can hardly wonder at it, remembering how much has been written of Wedgwood and how little of the other English potters of the 18th century. [26] See examples in colour, Plates VII. and VIII. [27] S.W. Bushell, _Chinese Art_ (Victoria and Albert Museum Handbooks, ii. 5-6). [28] _Yao_ is the Chinese term equivalent of the English "pottery" or "ware." [29] See Brinkley, _Japan and China_, ix
