Flow Blue: A Collector's Guide to Patterns, History, and Values, 5th Ed by Jeffrey Snyder
Now in its fifth edition, this popular volume combines recent and classic research with hundreds of all-color photographs to survey Flow Blue ceramics, the much sought after and highly prized table and kitchenware items that graced so many Victorian tables. The newly updated values which reflect the current market are conveniently located in the captions. Also, the bibliography has been expanded, and the ever-valuable index of patterns has been expanded, giving collectors a quick reference source to the patterns found in all five of the author's guides to Flow Blue. As always, the beautiful color photographs, arranged by chronological and stylistic periods, document the changes in Flow Blue patterns and forms throughout the nineteenth century. Everyday objects as well as rare artifacts are portrayed side-by-side to inform and excite beginning and experienced collectors alike. Common and unusual marks from English, American, and European manufacturers accompany the photographs.
The history of Flow Blue, its unusual and distinctive decoration, vessel forms, use, and dating techniques are all covered by an archaeologist whose eye for detail make this a valuable collector's guide.
