Collectible Enameled Ware: American & European is a celebration of those vintage wares that humbly served in the kitchens and households of the past, but have since achieved status as highly sought-after antiques. It's not only American-made enameled ware that's creating such a stir.European enameled ware, with its vibrant colors and spectacular graphic designs, is also highly in demand. A concise text and over 375 color photographs with value ranges offer antiques dealers, collectors, and interior designers a close-up look at the beautiful examples of enameled ware produced throughout Europe and the United States between the late 1800s and 1940. Decorative patterns, floral graphic designs, one-of-a-kind items-these are but a few of the attributes that lead many collectors to think of antique enameled ware as relics of a lost art.

For collectors, lovers or just curious : a must read !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectible Enameled Ware: American & European (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
I don't feel useful to type 1000 words here, anyone reading this book will understand all the passion than enameled ware can arouse, and all the work produced by the authors to show so numerous and beautiful pictures. These everyday utensils has been used during decades in so many worlwide houses, but how many housekeepers did realize as much it was difficult to produce ? Who knows the differences between circa 1800's and 1900's items, how to recognize an entirely handpainted pattern from a silk-screen printing just enhanced by hand, or how to get sure than this is a complete coffee jug or unfortunately a coffee biggin without its lid ? A good advice : just read this book, then keep it where you're sure to find it again immediately

This review is from: Collectible Enameled Ware: American & European (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
Liked the photos but was disapointed not to find a specific age next to them....if we are talking collectors guide then this is surely needed. I also wonder about the listed prices as they are the prices that you would pay in a particular retail shop ...I have bought pieces similar in France and Germany and only paid half or even less. Nice coffee table read,lovely pictures but not useful as a collectors guide.
