From the Publisher

Harvey Duke is clearly the king of pottery and porcelain. It seems to me he knows everything about every manufacturer and pattern, and he's willing to share his expertise in a juicy, easy-to-read book. This price guide is one of the jewels in the House of Collectibles' crown.

-- Randy Ladenheim-Gil, Editor, House of Collectibles

1.0 out of 5 stars List of potteries is incomplete, May 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Official Price Guide to Pottery and Porcelain: 8th Edition (Official Price Guide to Pottery & Porcelain) (Paperback)
If you are a collector of Arts and Crafts Art pottery this book is not for you. Of the many collectible potteries for this movement (i.e. Rookwood, Grueby, Weller, Hull, Tiffany, Pewabic, Teco, Newcomb, Ohr, Chelsea, Fulper, Roseville and Van Briggle) only two (Roseville and Van Briggle) are included in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Valuable content. Needs values updated and many more pix!, July 7, 1998
This review is from: Official Price Guide to Pottery and Porcelain: 8th Edition (Official Price Guide to Pottery & Porcelain) (Paperback)
I have used this guide for nearly a year and find the content very useful in my business. The histories of the various pottery firms are fascinating and help make sense to a very crowded collectable field. It's time for the price information to be updated and the book should be split into two volumes for easier handling and reading. The main dissapointment (and why the book lost two stars in my rating) is the lack of color photographs. Mr. Duke (and his publisher) would have a home run if they would include extensive color photographs of each line of each manufacturer to aid in identification. Yes, it would cost more, but the market would support it. Take a look at Huxford's Fiestaware guide as a good example.

My copy is dogg-earred, stained and marked-up. I've identified alot pieces of pottery with this trusty book I've always felt confident in it's information and price list. Please Mr. Duke another one.
