A Stunning New Feast of Noritake, November 10, 2004
This review is from: Art Deco Noritake & More: A Photographic and Historical Record (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
David Spain's new book, Art Deco Noritake & More, is filled to the brim with stunning photographs that bring to life more of the work of the artisans of Noritake...to savor slowly and deliciously. WOW!
In addition, to my delight, Spain has written a fascinating history of Noritake, highlighted with rare, early 20th century photographs..most never before published. I loved seeing the founders, the artists, the workers and their workplaces, the people of Noritake who created the magnificent porcelain fancyware and dinnerware avidly sought by today's collectors.
Spain's easy to master, revolutionary system for numbering Noritake backstamps is still a gem. Best of all, he's added more backstamps to the collection and has included documentation for some previously only thought to have been used by the Noritake Company.
New or old to Noritake collecting, or just looking for a gorgeous coffee table book or a special gift, you'll love this one.
