L'ouvrage est dédié à Champfleury, conservateur du Musée de la céramique à Sèvres de 1872 à 1899 et auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur le sujet dont le conte "Le violon de faïence", paru en 1862, était déjà illustré en 1877 de deux eaux-fortes par l'aquafortiste rouennais Jules Adeline (1845-1909). Il sera encore illustré en 1885. Dix ans plus tard, Adeline décida d'écrire l'histoire de la rédaction de l'ouvrage de Champfleury. Après avoir évoqué le vieux Rouen et la rue Eau-de-Robec, réservée aux brocanteurs, il dévoile les personnalités des deux collectionneurs qui ont inspiré Champfleury, Sauvageot et André Pottier, et conte l'histoire des 5 violons de faïence connus.
