Beschreibung

Potichomanie is the art or process of coating the inside of glass vessels with engravings or paintings, so as to give them the appearance of painted ware. This small booklet explains how to transform a simple glass vessel into what looks like a Chinese, Sevres or Japanese vase. All the articles necessary in the art of Potichomanie - from the glass vaes to the sheets of coloured drawings or prints used to decorate them, plus gum, varnish, hog-hair brushes to coloured paint used to give the glass the appearance of porcelain - were available for purchase from White & Dalton's of 52 Rathbone Place, London. At the time, Potichomania was often presented with disdain or contempt: "One of those manias that seize from time to time the hands of our young ladies". (Punch, 1857). 15.8cms x 10cms. Pp.15, chipped tears with small loss to top edge next to spine of several pages not affecting text. Light blue decorated wraps with loss along top front edge, chip to front fore-edge. Scarce. Good.
