This is a perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy but complete and sturdy a helpful guide to the marks and names and logos of leading French makers of pottery silverware and the like. It is clean internally except for a margin stain affecting 20 pages but that doesn't affect text or illustrations. Surely a rebind from some point in the past but still strong and sturdy. Coverings to perhaps original boards are sympathetic to period 1762 and feature four fleurs-de-lis to both front and rear and miniscule dentelles surrounding ruled borders too. Backstrip is moderately worn and scuffed but features five raised bands and a neatly affixed leather label into which has been gilt-stamped the title and with publication date to spine bottom. Octavo in format lv 414 pp. Illustrated and printed paper wrappers. Half a dozen black-and-white folding plates and many more black-and-white illustrations. All three edges stained red.
