Historic Flow Blue with Price Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors) [Paperback]

Jeffrey B. Snyder (Author)

Book Description

Series: Schiffer Book for Collectors | Publication Date: July 2007

America in the nineteenth century Victorian age was changing as fast as the engines of the Industrial Revolution could carry it. At every turn, Flow Blue was there, first sparking the interest of the affluent and later the middle class with its rich colors and complete table services. This book puts Flow Blue in its historical context and covers the British, American and European manufacturers who produced it, the exhibitions that promoted it, the people who owned it and what moved them to buy it. Over 500 color photographs present the variety of forms and patterns in these popular wares from the 1840s to turn of the twentieth century.

Jeffrey Snyder is a well documented writer in the field of Flow Blue collecting. His knowledge of Flow Blue is extensive and highly respected.
Although it is impossible to get every pattern (some are still unknown) and current prices, this book will give the reader a very good understanding in the vast field of Flow Blue collecting.
