joiners, merchant tailors, needle makers, parish clerks, poulters,
saddlers, salters, bricklayers, upholders, watermen, and weavers
companies. The six illustrated pieces show the arms of the carpenters,
clothworkers, joiners, parish clerks, upholders, and weavers. Each piece
and its crest are described, and there is also a list of the mottoes.

A good half the pieces were Chinese export, the others a smattering of
Leeds pottery, and Lambeth and Bristol delftware. Crisp published several
limited edition books featuring his collections, and they are uniformly
elegantly conceived and executed. Hardcover. 10.5"x12", [i] 7, [iv] pages,
