Head vases, developed for the florist industry in the twentieth century, and now an increasingly popular collectible, were made in a variety of sizes and styles. The Encyclopedia of Head Vases provides a broad perspective on vases available, placing special emphasis on those heads which had not previously been pictured in a book. Almost 1,000 color photographs and captions identifying size and marks of 1309 heads make identification easy. Special chapters on the popular Betty Lou Nichols heads, Christmas heads, wall pockets, and related collectibles, along with a current price guide will make this book and important reference for collectors and dealers.

This is an exact duplicate of the book published in 1996,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Head Vases (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This book is page for page a copy of the 1996 publication. There are no new heads, only updated prices. Has was the first book, it is not comprehensive. I am sorry that I spent $30.00, plus shipping and handling for the same book I already have.

Right to the "Nitty-Gritty"!,
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Head Vases (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
If you are expecting a "Collector's Course " on head vases to wade through , forget it. This is right to the point! Page after page of clear color photos ( with marks and values ) and a chapter on"Related Collectibles" that "hooked" this new collector for good!
