2 comments about All about Weller price guide.

1. Third Edition, published June 1999. This price guide is the companion to McDonald's book "All About Weller: A History and Collectors Guide to Weller Pottery". The author gathered Weller Pottery sale prices from auction results, internet website sales, and Weller pottery retail displays in stores and exhibitions. We use our copy regularly when planning an addition to our Weller collection and it has proved very handy.



2. Ann received her doctorate from George Washington University, her Master's degree from Cornell University, and taught literature at Marymount College in Arlington, Virginia, and later at Georgetown University. She became an antiques dealer in 1972, specializing today in out of print books on glass and lighting, and Weller pottery.

3 comments about Collectors Encyclopedia of Nippon Poreclain: Series 6 Identification & Values (Collector's Encyclopedia of Nippon Porcelain).

1. The pictures are exquisite, but as a new collector, I was somewhat lost. I guess the idea is to buy all 5 books. I really don't like the question and answer format. So much of the information there and elsewhere is irrelevant.



2. This is a wonderfully informative book on the popular collecting field of Nippon Porcelain. More than half the book is brilliant color photos of a wide variety of pieces with dimensions & estimated retail prices.

   What sets this book apart though is the wealth of information for collectors. There is a history of Nippon Porcelain & an insightful section of frequently asked questions. Themes including baseball, dogs & dolls are highlighted.

   I especially enjoyed the original documents reproduced here including early ads with items selling for pennies, design patents, beautiful hand painted salesman sample pages and complete selection of back-stamp marks.

   There is a well illustrated section on the dangerous reproductions now entering the market and many more tips to aid the new or experienced collector. This is a truly indispensable reference on Nippon.




3. The 5th series highlights moriage swans and enameling. Reproduction section is more extensive and updated. There is also a section depicting the style evolution of nippon to further help identify and date items. A MUST for all nippon collectors and dealers.

1. The item was listed as a 1997 publication, however, it was only a 1991 plublication date which I already have. i was looking for an updated version, so I have returned the item.
   
   If there should actually be a 1997 version, I would not mind being contacted so that I may re-order it.
   
   Thank you
