Customer Reviews

Very Disappointed
I bought this book as an amateur wanting to know more about pottery and porcelain and the price guide. This book is pretty useless for amateurs. It only gave the tiniest bit of information about each piece and a lot of that was abbreiviated. It was also badly laid out...

A good choice for starters
This a very interesting book, covering a wide range of American and European porcelain marks and manufacturers, from France to Austria and Hungary. The book has many information for youngsters starting-out, such as pictures (including a full colour section), a glossary of terms, and even an apendix on how to read English registry marks of the 19th century. It also has more detailed information for professional matters. Overall, a great book to add to your library.
