Series: A Schiffer Book for Collectors | Publication Date: January 1998

With such a large variety and vast number of styles, patterns, series, and themes to choose from, Lefton China is fast becoming one of the most desirable, sought-after collectibles on the secondary market today. This authoritative volume spans the history of the company founded by George Z. Lefton in the late 1930s. More than 900 photos document his many creations, from figurines to fine china teapots, ashtrays, and planters.

Complete descriptions and bottom marks, along with up-to-date prices, make this book an invaluable guide for both new collectors and those who have been gathering this china for years.

I found this book to be very informative. I have been collecting Lefton China for several years, and found this to be the most helpful book that has yet to be published.
