Customer Reviews

Good reference book - but don't expect price guides
An excellent book for checking out what that strange item you bought with a previously unseen makers mark on. But one thing to watch out for - don't buy this if you are looking for price guidance. The book is very egalitarian in its approach - giving coverage for everything from the little-known potteries to the ubiquitous Doulton, Wedgewood etc. Recommended
