The definitive book of Metlox Pottery !
This book is the definitive work on Metlox Pottery. It's a "must have" for the collector and enjoyable reading for the person wishing to learn more about California pottery. Full of hundreds of pictures andvalues, this book is an invaluable guide and resource.

Beyond my expectations
I purchased this book to clear up my conception of some of the Metlox patterns but it opened my eyes to some very collectible pieces that I had been over looking.Nice pictures with several styles in each catagory that eliminates the guess work.As a beginner collector of Metlox I am trulyplease with this book. ...

An excellent reference tool for the novice collector.
I acquired this book solely for its superb illustrations.Each piece is given its own, full-colour page, opposite which is a description, not only of its use to the society which produced it, but of the body, glaze, and decorative technique and style. I found much information therein which hadbeen ignored by longer and heavier books on the subject of Englishceramics.Also included with each description is a brief selection oftitles which will ease further research.This is a beautiful little book(like all the Firzwilliam Museum Handbooks) which would make a very welcomegift for any ceramic historian or collector. ...

The Blue Willow
This is a book that has been in my mind since the first time I read it over 30 years ago.I have been trying to find a copy of for my own.I read it for the first time in grammer school.I have always felt sorry forthe little girl in it.Italways made me feel bad that all she felt shehad in the world of any value was that plate.And I loved how proud shewas of it.

A Must Have For Blue Willow Collectors
This is a wonderful book for the casual and serious collector of Blue Willow. The graphics are clear and the number of manufacturer marks listed makes for easy referencing.

I find this book to be very informative and helpful.

Excellent book
I found this book to be very useful. It's very well organized and well written. An only suggestion for the next edition is to have glossier/brighter/clearer photographs.

User freindly and Informative - A MUST for any Collector!
I found this book to be logical and informative. The foundation of this book is based upon the chronilogical use of each mark.The patterns are then listed alphabetically within the time period that "mark" wasused.Because of this book - all my freinds and colleages think of me as a"Early Noritake Expert" - I dont have the heart to tell them thatI am not!I highly recommend this book to any and all collectors and/ordealers of Noritake! ...

Victorian reenactor in GA.....
This is a great book for anyone interested in the use of china and silverware in the Victorian Era and the functions of each piece. It is also a great guide for antique shopping or junking.I know I have seen some of those odd pieces of china and silver and never knew what they were used for.Nowthat I do, I can add to my collection with confidence. ...

A Delightful Read
A completely delightful time. Easy to read and beautiful illustrations. This is a great gift for your hostess. Thanks!

Tea A MAGAZINE
If all of us would believe as the author has stated, "that we all have a garden inside of us", the world would be in a better place. As you read on and observe the drawings, you can actually feel her love. Not only for her husband which is evident, but also for her work. I have visited her charming shop, seen the magnificent tea sets, and was surprisingly stunned by her delicate art which adorned the walls of this enchanting little treasure of a shop. Ms kaplan not only writes with a soul of passion, she backs it all up with beautiful tea sets, then gives you dessert by offering a glimpse of her talent as an incredable artist with her heavenly water colors. Oh my goodness, now I amin a peaceful state of mind too! Thank you Lissi Kaplan ... Read more
