4to, 94pp., coloured illustrs., throughout, orig. pictorial wrappers. The 'Imari' style with its rich colours - dark blue, iron red and gold - is one of the most distinctive of the classic styles associated with English wares. It has been identified with Royal Crown Derby in particular ever since its wares using Imari and Imari-derived patterns became the foundation of Royal Crown Derby's success in the 1870s and 1880s.Using Royal Crown Derby's remarkable pattern-book archive, Ian Cox surveys Derby Imari from its inception to the present day, charting the lasting popularity of the 'Imari' theme and its many derivations and developments by modern designers and craftsmen. The book concludes with a guide to identification and a table of all the Imari (and 'semi-imari' etc) patterns ever used at Royal Crown Derby's Osmaston Road factory.
