By A Customer
This review is from: American Painted Porcelain Collectors Identification (Paperback)
A must-have for collectors and antique dealers alike. This book details the history, production, and decoration of American handpainted porcelain, all with beautiful photographs and helpful illustrations. A key component is the identification and valuation of handpainted items.

By Kathleen Gniady (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Painted Porcelain Collectors Identification (Paperback)
Nice for studies and examples of others work but value is underpriced. One must consider the value to the person collecting the china.
