A Very informative book.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago

This book is jam packed with pottery marks, a great value for the price. I had no idea that there were so many. It is extremely informative, giving a brief history, manufacture dates and much more information for each company listed. I would definately recommend this to anyone with an interest in collecting or selling pottery.

And So It Was Done

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

Years ago I hunted high and low for a book on American ceramic wares, a genre who's time I saw closing fast. It was suggested once that I write one. I am glad I didn't take the challenge as my work would surly have paled severely in contrast to this marvelous, all inclusive work. Lois Lehner gives the subject the depth, scope and respect it deserves. This is 'the book' on American marks on pottery and porcelain its authority is never questioned.

Thoroughly stunning work

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

Many books use the word 'encyclopedia' in their title, but few really deserve it. This one most certainly does. A titanic reference of pottery marks and company histories that virtually never fails to identify a piece of U.S. china. The variety of marks within each company, and the historical detail, make this both a valuable reference and an interesting book to page through.
