“The present series of Plates continues the record of the XIIIth century Persian lustre ware commenced by the writer in 1885. At that period only four examples of the art had been identified. Those which have been found since then have been brought to Europe separately, excepting in one instance; it has happened, therefore, that their illustration has been in no regular sequence. The publication having thus been dispersed over a number of years, it may be convenient to the reader to be reminded that its first appearance was in the Catalogue of the Exhibition of Persian and Arab Art at the Gallery of the Burlington Fine Arts Club, in 1885; the notice was issued as an Appendix to the illustrated edition of the Catalogue. The illustration was continued in a work entitled `Notes on some Early Persian Lustre Vases,’ 1885-89; then in the `Persian Ceramic Art in the Collection of Mr. F DuCane Godman, F.R.S.,’ 1891-93; and lastly in `Typical Examples of Persian and Oriental Ceramic Art,’ 1893.” [p.1].
