Subject:    Identification of 19th/18th century ceramics

Dear all,

Could any contributors assist me in finding literature to aid the
identification of ceramics from the 18th/19th centuries?

I have been contacted by a friend at the British Museum on behalf of The
Dept. of Historical Archaeology, Havana, Cuba. They desparately need
resources to help them study materials of this type that have recently been
excavated.

As Cuba is a developing country, and it's economy suffers under the effects
of US sanctions amongst other things, it is unlikely that they will be able
to purchase books. If anyone can supply me with references I would like to
send out photocopies. It would be even better if anybody had unwanted
copies of books of this type that they were willing to donate. Literature
in Spanish especially welcome.

Yours,

Helen Wickstead.
