This is a highly detailed and accurate reproduction of a c1910 Wheatley pottery catalog of faience and colored flat and molded tiles. The catalog bears the mark of the circled "WP", and we are dating it as c1910. Wheatley experts please correspond.
This 44-page book includes both drawings and photos of pots, tiles, and chimney mantels. Also included are profiles of mantel components and photographs of completed installations. There are drawings of 57 molded tile designs as well as many multi-tile vertical and horizontal figured panels, also shown.
Most tiles, components, and assemblies are priced. A rarely seen example of early Wheatley art pottery.

We have digitally reproduced the original catalog at a high resolution, and printed the pages on a heavy paper stock. The reproduction, like the original, is printed in sepia on a cream background. This is not a photocopy - our methods allow us to retain excellent image clarity and depth of detail while allowing digital "repairs" to very old pages.
The true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, is attractive and allows this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. Heavyweight clear vinyl covers protect the front and back. Our fine reproduction catalogs are already in museum research collections.
We offer a large number of vintage and classic china, pottery, glass, architectural ornament, and other catalogs in our eBay bookstore. Currently, we are working on other previously unavailable tile catalogs from companies such as American Encaustic, US Encaustic, Rookwood, the Mosaic Tile Company, and various California potteries.
