The Egyptologist Samuel Birch (1813–85) began to study Chinese at school, and obtained his first post at the British Museum cataloguing Chinese coins. He maintained his interest in Chinese civilisation throughout his life, but also collaborated with C. T. Newton on a catalogue of Greek and Etruscan vases, and with Sir Henry Rawlinson on cuneiform inscriptions, while also specialising in the examination and cataloguing of the Museum's growing collection of Egyptian papyri and other artefacts. Birch describes this two-volume, highly illustrated work on ancient pottery, published in 1858, as filling a perceived need: 'A work has long been required which should embody the general history of the fictile art of the ancients.' Volume 2 continues to examine Greek pottery, including the work of named or identified individual craftsmen, and then moves on to Etruscan and Roman wares, with a short final section on 'Celtic, Teutonic, and Scandinavian pottery'.

The book ""History Of Ancient Pottery: Greek, Etruscan And Roman V1"" by Samuel Birch is a comprehensive study of the development and evolution of pottery in ancient Greece, Etruria, and Rome.

The first chapter provides an overview of the history and culture of ancient Greece, Etruria, and Rome, and explores the role that pottery played in these societies. The following chapters delve into the technical aspects of pottery making, including the different types of clay, firing techniques, and decoration methods that were used. Throughout the book, the author provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of various types of pottery, including vases, bowls, plates, and figurines.

Overall, ""History Of Ancient Pottery: Greek, Etruscan And Roman V1"" is an informative and engaging book that provides a fascinating look into the world of ancient pottery.
