Attention California pottery collectors: here's the book you've been waiting for! Jack Chipman, author of two editions of Collector's Encyclopedia of California Pottery and Collector's Encyclopedia of Bauer Pottery, has produced this new volume that covers many undocumented California pottery companies, including many that are not even mentioned in his Collector's Encyclopedia of California Pottery. Dinnerware, figurines, vases, and other floral containers are featured, including the very collectible animal and bird figurines. More than 700 photographs and archival material are presented in this new format that replicates the look of a scrapbook and all the interesting images found in them. It's organized chronologically by decade, starting with the 1930s and progressing to the present, grouped according to category of ware or type of item. Dimensions and mark information are provided for all items, as well as current collector values. In addition, there is a thorough index that will aid the collector. It's the perfect addition for your bookshelf and a fabulous tribute to this unique pottery. PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
Readers of this book will gain a new appreciation for the marvelous scope and infinite variety of California's industrial ceramics heritage. The focus of the book is the ware produced by less-familiar potteries. The author shows how the major and minor potteries tackled the same styles and themes.
