Hundreds of photographs of vases, tea sets, candlesticks, trays, creamers, plates, urns, and many other types of dishes are featured.

PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
Something old, something new. That's the case with this recent title. New information and photographs are mixed with material previously published....However, this is much more than a picture price guide. Historical information is supplemented by a section of frequently asked questions, there are tips for collectors and an extensive grouping of backstamps is shown.There's also a section on reproductions, showing authentic and fake marks side-by-side...-Antique Week
