Benjamin, Susan.
English Enamel Boxes, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Centuries.
London; Orbis Publishing: 1982. 2nd printing. Although popularly known as "Battersea" boxes, these were also produced in other workshops in London, Birmingham, Bilston, Wednesbury and Liverpool. Benjamin examines these boxes and their makers, and offers help with the often difficult process of attributions. This is especially important as these boxes rarely carry marks, but that only makes collecting them more fun! Hardcover. 7.5"x10", 128 pages, profusely illustrated in color, dj. A nice copy.
