Like the Harrans' previous books, Book IV is divided into several collectible categories: cabinet cups and saucers, American cups and saucers, European dinnerware services, English tablewares, miniatures, and more. The almost 1,400 all-new photographs feature all kinds of beautiful cups and saucers and their marks. There is a new section, the Collectors Corner, which offers insights and experiences from fellow collectors. A fascinating new chapter entitled Chinese Tea and Tea Serving Vessels, written by collectors from Toronto, Canada, Henry Yuen and his son Andy, includes rare teacups from as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and continues to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 AD). The chapter includes interesting historical information, beautiful examples from Yuen's personal collection, and a dynasty timeline. Useful information on packaging, internet buying, condition, and availability is also provided in the book. It s another must-have for collectors. 2009 values.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great teacup guide,
By
This review is from: Collectible Cups & Saucers (Collectible Cups & Saucers Book) (Paperback)
This is a great collection of the different types of teacups. Very helpful to an avid china collector! There are not very many books in this area of antiques, so I was thrilled to find this first edition. The second edition is also wonderful too. Highly recommend for the novice collector, to the avid ones!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Even better than Book 1!,
By Nancy Hurd (Copley, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collectible Cups & Saucers: Book ll (Paperback)
I found Book 1 to be very helpful to me as a beginning serious collector and Book 2 has been much more so as my collection has grown. I loved the marks section with color photographs of marks and have used it in dating some of my cup and saucer sets. I also found the sketches of shapes and handles of cups to be useful in descriptions for the inventory of my collection. Pictures of old trade cards are a charming touch and reproduced old catalog pages, extra photographs and added information greatly add to the enjoyment of this book for a novice or experienced collector.

This book is not helpful at all,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectible Cups & Saucers (Collectible Cups & Saucers Book) (Paperback)
This book is not helpful in identifying teacups at all. Of the thousands and thousands of styles and designs of teacps that exist, this book shows pictures of only about 200. Most of the pictures are dark or unclear and no maker's marks are shown. This book is basically just one person's collection and is no help to other collectors.
