Nippon Porcelain Reference Material
For a novice collector, this book is definitely one to add to your collection of reference materials. While a majority of the marks are hand drawn, they are done well enough to identify the multitude of makers of Nippon porcelain. The numerous color photos are clearly a benefit in identifying the various wares that fall into Nippon category. Definite pluses are the descriptions of decorations, the section about Geisha wares and reproduction alerts. Specially appreciated the inclusion of Butler Bros., catalog. Was hoping for information about marks and stamps, such as locale and dates. Also was disappointed about the section of Nippon Patterns, Styles and Shapes. Majority referenced the prior two books in the series. Overall, pleased with the book and happy to have added it to my library.Read full review

Collector's Encyclopedia of Nippon Porcelain Vol 3
I have been collecting Nippon porcelain for 30 years and purchased my copy of this guide when it was first published in 1986. The price guide is obviously very out of date by now but is still a useful reference. The text is very informative / well written and includes an excellent history of Nippon from it's founding in the 1880's. The color photographs are invaluable in identifying "finds" as are the images of authentic Nippon backstamps. The author provides a helpful discussion of reproduction Nippon and how to tell it from genuine Nippon. Included as well are tips for photographing your collection for insurance purposes. The book is an excellent resource for either the novice or the advanced collector. Highly recommended.
