The price guide gives realistic current values for the dinnerware depending on the decals, not just condition, but also the popularity of each. More than 500 color photos. 1997 values. REVIEW: This book is not meant to be a literary reconstruction or detailed history of the Art Deco period, but rather, a survey of Deco items found for sale at general and antique and collectibles outlets. In this revised edition the ten categories of Art Deco collectibles have been expanded illustrating more examples in each. Each section is prefaced with brief introductory remarks about the category, and values have been updated. The manufacturer index helps locate examples of a particular company.

This review is from: Homer Laughlin's Virginia Rose: Identification and Values (Collector's Guide to) (Paperback)
This is the most useful guide to collectable china that I have found. It is not only an exhaustive reference guide to Homer Laughlin's "Virginia Rose", but provides much information about other types of china as well. This book provides details and information that you can't find elsewhere.

For lovers of Homer Laughlin china, and lovers of American china in general,
This review is from: Homer Laughlin's Virginia Rose: Identification and Values (Collector's Guide to) (Paperback)
The gentleman who authored this book must have an exhaustive collection of Homer Laughlin; I have read most of what he wrote in his efforts to track down different obscure patterns, and I can only imagine that he devoted most of his waking moments to nothing other than Homer Laughlin. His enthusiasm concerning different patterns is infectious; after what he said about the 'Sunporch' pattern, it became my Holy Grail, and when I finally found a piece in an out of the way antique store in Iowa, I pounced upon it as though fearful that someone would swoop it out from under my grasp. He went to great lengths to research as many patterns as possible; visited old Homer Laughlin storerooms and malls; and generally put so much effort into this book that I really wish I could see his collection. He speaks with reverence of the line; is extremely knowledgeable concerning dating techniques and possibilities of finding different patterns; and presents each pattern so beautifully that the entire Homer Laughlin line has become something of an obsession for me. This book is so concise, also, that it has aided me in second guessing established antiques dealers. Because his research is so extensive, I have found a few pieces at ridiculously low prices, simply because the dealer had no idea what they had. I've nearly worn my copy of this book out, and cannot recommend it enough for the collector truly interested in Homer Laughlin china.
