The definitive volume on Harker Pottery by .. ()
OK, I'm biased. My mother wrote this one. Many of the pieces featured in the book are part of my collection. But it's still the ONLY book on Harker Pottery, America's Oldest Pottery. This book not only includes beautiful pictures of Harkerware, but also includes a price guide and some history of the pottery industry of the Ohio Valley. Harker is a contemporary of many currently collectible potteries such as Hall and Homer Laughlin. While not as valuable currently as Autumn Leaf or Fiestaware, Harker's Cameoware is becoming increasingly popular. Harker is also the only manufacturer of ceramic serving forks and spoons as well as beautiful ceramic rolling pins

Product Description Yellow ware was produced for over a century and played an important part in pottery history. Its popularity on the collector's market has brought about much new information in recent years. Lisa McAllister reveals the latest knowledge and introduces pieces that have never been in print before in her all-new Collector's Guide to Yellow Ware. There are over 300 full-color photos, with descriptions, sizes, and current values. The pieces are categorized by type, demonstrating that yellow ware wasn't just utilitarian kitchen ware. Besides the bowls, plates, pitchers, and storage crocks, there are inkwells, banks, animal figures, and much more! There's also an informative section on the potters and their marks, a glossary, and a bibliography. 2003 values. AUTHORBIO: In 1992 Lisa McAllister co-authored her first volume of the Collector's Guide to Yellow Ware with John Michel. That book has been brought back into print with updated information and current market values. She has also produced two more volumes on her own in that series, as well as the Collector's Guide to Feather Edge Ware. REVIEW: This book is the second in a three-volume series by Lisa S. McAllister. It has been revised to include current information and updated collector values. A must for all yellow ware enthusiasts. Customer reviews Misinformation in both of her books  by .. John W. Gallo (Otego, NY)
Although there are nice pictures and NICE overinflated prices,
there is much information and labeling of yellow ware that is incorrect. It is obvious that this author doesn't know enough about pottery to be considered an authority on yellow ware. the only book that I know of that has the correct information for the begginer and the scholar is Gallo's book, a great reference. When is he going to do another one?
If you have the first Yellow Ware book you must have this. by .. ()
This book has even more information than the first!The color photography is wonderful.The entire book is filled with photos of many rare and unusual pieces.

Customer reviews "A Must for All Lu-Ray Colelctors"! by .. Joseph Metcalf (Washingotn, DC)
The Meehan's book remains the "Bible" for all collectors of this fabulous pastel dinnerware of the late 1930's - early 1950's. Highly recommended!
Great pictures with precise descriptions. by .. (Ohio, United States)
I just received this book. One of the better "Pottery Collectors" books I've seen. The pictures are wonderful, for easy identification. The descriptions are very precise. Only a very small portion of this book is Lu-Ray Pastels. The rest is of all the other TS&T (Taylor, Smith and Taylor) pottery. The price guides are very comparable to what I've seen of pieces on the market.

Best guide for Happy Meal toy collectors! by .. bradice906@aol.com (Carrollton, TX)
I consider this to be the McDonald's collector's premier guide. Full-color photos show you exactly what you're looking for. Variations are also listed, and usually shown, so you'll know to look for that horse with a green base and without! Translites, buttons, and all the other items associated with a promo are listed with values. Although this book only goes through early 1995, you can order supplements by writing to the author (address included in the book). If you're serious about collecting (or selling) McD's Happy Meal toys, you must have this book

Customer reviews excellent book for all audiences by .. (delray beach, florida USA)
This is an excellent book! I teach an antique porcelain class and found it useful to gain expertise quickly. This book is successfully used by appraisers, dealers, collectors and teachers. I have read many porcelain books, and this one was one of the easiest to read and understand. It was well organized and contained a good variety of the styles and characteristics of RS Prussia. All four volumes are needed to identify pieces, although Ms. Gaston provides a shape guide to help date pieces not pictured. What I'd like to see in the next book is 1) clarification on how the marks were made, i.e., printed over or under glaze, 2) the types of glazes used (and were pieces refired) 3)repeat of history with changes incorporated, verses the new and updated info section. The history only appears fully in the ist volume.
What a Great Reference! by .. junkgalore.com (Mentone, AL 35984)
Okay- I admit it. I did not have a room full of R.S.Prussia china to reference when I bought this book. I just loved the pictures and had to have it! I can dream a little dream and imagine finding a portrait bowl or vase at a small town flea market for next to nothing...and then I can look up its worth and smile as I place my prize in the china cabinet ( a coveted possession NOT for resale!).
A reviewer from Ohio by .. ()
Wonderful book with full color pictures. Also pictures of the marks. Great price guide! Will use this over & over.
Excellent Reference by .. Gail D. Conser (Novi, Michigan United States)
As a new collector of R.S. Prussia I found this book to be an excellent reference. It's detailed description and beautiful pictures of the different molds, decorations and marks was very helpful. I know there are a lot of "fake" pieces on the market and this book is proving to be an invaluable guide for me. The history was very interesting also. Thank you Ms. Gaston! A really beautiful book and very informative.
terrific book, clear beautiful pictures on every page by .. ()
This book was very insightful for me. I was searching for a particular "mark" on a piece that I own. This was the only book that was of help.
