This clearly written, thought-provoking, and often witty text takes the reader on a grand tour of the ceramic fancywares produced by Noritake. Included are bowls, boxes, figurines, lamps, plaques, tea sets, vases and other delicate porcelains. Over 1,000 stunning color images display these eye-catching objects to their best advantage. While concentrating on the wares produced between 1921 and 1941, fancywares from as early as 1908 and as recently as the 1980s are also portrayed.
This book is so well organized, even the novice will be using it with confidence within minutes. Included as well are clear images of the many Noritake backstamps, a bibliography, an index, and current market values in the captions.
Like [his previous two books on Noritake], the latest also offers very worthwhile coverage of the remarkable porcelain.... The book's quality coverage extends from possible design sources for Noritake to the impact such items might have on values at Internet auctions. - Mountain States Collector, July 2002
