Nice Reference Book for Fine China Collectors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miller's Twentieth-Century Ceramics: A Collector's British and American Factory Produced Ceramics (Hardcover)
I first looked at this book at the library, then decided it was informative enough to purchase for my own china collector's library. It doesn't have prices which many do...but it has wonderful descriptions of the manufacturers and good color photographs. Used in conjunction with a Warman's book, you will be able to identify most major china manufacturers. I reccommend this highly.

Make that GREAT photos! A "must-have" aesthetic survey...,
By Beyond-Is-Within Also (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miller's Twentieth-Century Ceramics: A Collector's British and American Factory Produced Ceramics (Hardcover)
The review below appreciated the concise information on makers, but not the SUPERB quality of the photos! I bought this book because I couldn't put it down -- and I'm not a collector. What a way to develop an appreciation of the variety of truly beautiful wares available! Every collector or general aesthete needs this title for the well-chosen and beautifully photographed examples. A sleeper price-wise, and not to be outdated in terms of breadth, now that the 20th century is over...
