Head Vases, Identification and Values (Identification & Values (Collector Books))
Great book..Swift and smooth transaction and packed well.

A Super book for the head vase collector!
There is no other way to find out about head vases except to refer to Kathleen Cole's book. This outstanding book is a MUST for collectors, (buyers and sellers) of head vases.It clearly presents information andpictures about unique and collectible head vases.As a buyer of headvases, I would not be without my Kathleen Cole book. Highly recommendedsource of valuable information!

Excellent Reference Piece
I own this book and with having over 500 headvases it sure is handy! Strictly a pictorial book and a handy check-off list to see which head vases you're missing and need to acquire. With price guide in back you areable to judge what the piece is worth or what you are willing to pay. :)Enjoy! ... Read more

Excellent to provide a foundation for knowledge to build on.
This book is organized well, easy to understand and nicely illustrated. Provides a picturetime line of the evolution of tableware and eating customs.Very interesting and helpful to the novice in developing anunderstanding of manufacture, style and utilization of table wareReadersshoul have an increased ability to identify pieces as to their origin, eraand use. Only short coming was the book did not provide illustrations ofthe manufacturers marks.The author talked about them but should haveshown them as they can help with the identification of the piece.

A fun approach to studying decorative arts for the table.

A Triumph of Collectible Research!
This author has extensively researched a previously little-known subject.This book is so complete that I think auction houses will use it as a reference.The photographs are stunning and the line drawings extremely detailed.Prices are listed for each item, which is most helpful.What is invaluable is the effort the author has made to trace the manufacturers of as many shoes as possible.What a bonus for shoe collectors! ...
