Description

Hundreds of color photographs with identifying captions highlight this early out-of-print price guide on antique majolica pottery.
MAJOLICA POTTERY
by Mariann K. Marks, Collector Books, KY, 1983/1989.
Profusely illustrated in color, this scarce pictorial guide pictures antique majolica pottery with captions that tell dimensions, maker and marks (when known), colors and estimated price ranges [date of publication].  A special section at the end entitled “Marks” identifies such makers as Worcester, Jones, Holdcroft, Griffin Smith & Hill, Edwin Bennett and Wellsville.   Figurals in groups and single, baskets, boxes, pitchers, vases—all manner of decorative and useful kitchen items made in this colorful style are shown in patterns that often accentuate birds, floral design, and other natural motifs.  This is one in a famous series of collector guides from this subsidiary of Schroeder Publishing.  Values are good for date of publication.  This is a great book to add to your reference library if you are a collector but also is enjoyable to browse through if you have an interest in decorated pottery.
