Pratt Ware Views
The term s"Pratt Warea" was applied to these kinds of items by The Connoisseur magazine in 1909. The name came from the word o"Pratt " on the base of a single item.

A stunning new edition of the first book to cover the increasingly popular subject of Pratt Ware. It is the only book which recounts what is known of the Pratt family of Fenton near Stoke-on-Trent and explains how this distinctive pottery came to be associated with their name. This type of ware was also made, however, by many other potters, not only in Staffordshire but also in Yorkshire, Liverpool, Sunderland, Tyneside, Devonshire and on the East and West coasts of Scotland. The wide range of products is comprehensively discussed and each piece is traced to its manufacturer. The latest findings on the subject are presented here - including the details of a new maker who came to light during research for the book. New colour illustrations have been introduced throughout to replace many of those which were previously in black and white.
