An update to the author's "Price Guide to 19th and 20th Century British Porcelain." "This new edition, covering one of today's most popular collectable areas, makes available to the collector the latest information resulting from research into the major factory archives over the last fifteen years. The popularity of Victorian porcelain with interior designers has had its effect on values and the author discusses how this factor, as well as condition and damage, can influence prices. A regularly published price revision list to accompany this book will ensure that the reader remains aware of changes in the market. The highly successful format of dividing objects into collecting areas rather than factories has been retained, with sections on bowls, figures, vases, etc. An index is provided for those interested in the output of a particular factory. Finally, the vexed question of fakes and forgeries is also considered and a number of illustrated examples are included." (dj) Sure to get much use in your library.
