5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference for California pottery !,
By "ryansgrandma" (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of California Pottery (Hardcover)
Being that I live in Ohio, the big pottery names here are ones like McCoy, Roseville, and Weller. I knew nothing about any of the West Coast pottery companies. I desperately needed a source of reference. I chose this book and I have not been disappointed. It covers 28 companies,gives a biography of each,shows examples of the marks used, and very clear photos of items made by each.Descriptions and values of the items shown are also included.I highly recommend this book for any pottery buyers library.

Exceptional Resource,
This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of California Pottery (Hardcover)
Great guide that covers a good majority of California Potteries with a good selection of works from each potter. Values are not too inflated and color pictures are wonderful. A must if you need a general guide to vintage California Pottery, a hot item right now.
