Pairing fine clear color photos throughout with values, company history, patterns, descriptions and background,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Universal Potteries (Hardcover)
David J. Chorey's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF UNIVERSAL POTTERIES provides a fine reference to Universal Potteries product lines, pairing fine clear color photos throughout with values, company history, patterns, descriptions and background. Any library strong in pottery collecting will find this a large, popular line and thus the ENCYCLOPEDIA will have an especially high lending interest level.

This review is from: Encyclopedia of Universal Potteries (Hardcover)
This is a great source of information for the collector of Universal Pottery. There is a particularly large amount of photos of sets from all time frames. I bought this almost pristine copy as a used books for a bargain basement price.
