<p>A fine copy of a rare trade catalogue issued by the Trenton Potteries Company. Decorative wrappers bound in dos-a-dos style tied with two silk twists one olive green one ochre. "Bathrooms of Character" has 40 pages beautifully illustrated with plans for creating a stylish bathroom. The cover design features a background in olive green squares outlined in white suggesting tiles with title letters in a raised white Arts and Crafts font. Embellishments of "tiles" with soft ochre stylized irises and foliage complete the handsome composition. The pamplet's counterpart "Porcelain Fixtures For Kitchen and Laundry" has 31 pages also nicely illustrated. Its cover design is identical to that of the bathroom pamphlet reversing the use of colors with ochre squares outlined in white and the iris designs executed in olive green. The text presents a wide array of superior qualities of the products including "Your Maid Will Find Cleaning Easy". It attests to shared contemporary frustrations "Every woman has had experience with the "servant problem". Dimensions and prices are included. This is the sixth edition of a booklet that was updated beginning circa 1914. Advertisements for the brochures were carried by some of the most prestigious periodicals of the day including House Beautiful Country Life and The Fra.
