Blunt, Reginald.
The Cheyne Book of Chelsea China and Pottery.
Boston; Houghton Mifflin Company: 1925. Based on the 1924 loan exhibition at Chelsea Town Hall, this reference is strongly biased toward figural groups. Porcelain was loaned for the exhibition by a large number of private collectors, making for a very interesting show, which also included some original Chelsea molds. As the exhibition was only open for 12 days, it was decided to take photographs of the displays and the pieces, and put together this catalog. The catalog includes interesting notes about the exhibition itself, along with photographs of it as it was installed, illustrations of the pieces, and the texts of the "Informal Talks" given by such notables as Bernard Rackham, William King, Frank Stoner, Charles Vyse, and Reginald Blunt. Hardcover. 8"x10", 131 pages, plus a color frontispiece and 49 b/w collotype plates. A little light wear, short tear at spine head, but a nice copy.
