Russel Wright Dinnerware, Pottery & More: An Identification and Price Guide

Pro: -Many pages of large glossy color photos -Many rare items revealed in great photographic shots to make them easier to spot on your own -Very complete listing of pieces and prices (note: prices are subject to wide market opinion, one data point only) -We think Keller and Ross make many beautiful arrangements and color-pairings as Russel intended -A relatively lengthy book considering that it is intended for reference and identification purposes -Very complete listing of lines as they are known to us today, including Mary Wright and others Con: -Not information rich, for this seek out other texts Bottom line: excellent, recommended for identification of hard-to-find pieces.

For Russel Wright collectors who need more visual information and current pricing than Ann Kerr's more thorough narrative reference provides, this is a good option. Many of the photographs are lovely and make a collector drool! I particularly enjoyed comparisons of mold variations (American Modern sauce boats, Casual China butter dishes) and pictures of rare pieces (Highlight, Bauer art pottery) that Kerr does not feature.
