Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The early terra cotta, garden wares, tiles, Franciscan line, and Catalina artware produced by the prolific Gladding, McBean and Company from the late 1800s to 1942 are covered and beautifully displayed in this fascinating book. The Franciscan pottery table and artware line, so named to honor the Franciscan Friars who established Spanish Missions in California, was one of the most successful product lines produced by Californias Gladding, McBean and Company. Among the dishes displayed here are their most popular patterns, including El Patio, Coronado, Metropolitan, Apple, and Desert Rose. Also featured are the colorful wares made after the firm acquired the Catalina Island Pottery in 1937. The history of Gladding, McBean covers its establishment in Lincoln, California, in 1873 to its closure in 1984. Values included. This is a wonderful guide book for everyone who loves twentieth century pottery!

About the Author
James Elliot-Bishop has been collecting and researching Gladding, McBean and Company pottery for many years. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent books for a novice collector of Francisan, July 27, 2005
By Linda F. Kurtz (Ann Arbor, Mi United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have owened Franciscan dinnerware for about 30 years, but am just now discovering the world of collecting it. The books by James Elliot-Bishop are invaluable resources for collectors who want to understand the intricate history of this lengthy line of earthenware
