Little has been previously published about this highly collectable souvenir ware which was manufactured in Scotland between 1840 and 1939. Mauchline Ware appleals to a wide span of collectors as the articles are linked to activities such as sewing, smoking, reading and writing. The important connection between Robert Burns and the town of Maucline is also examined. 'Mauchline Ware - A Collector's Guide' is a much needed book on the subject and documents the history and manufacture of the ware, and catalogues the vast array of items which were produced in various shapes, sizes and finishes; a price guide is also included.
