SynopsisFirst released in 1991, the book has been greatly expanded, with hundreds of new color photographs and new information about the beautiful work of the potters of California. Over 30 different artists and companies are represented - company histories, interesting background information, as well as marks and signatures complement the gorgeous photographs found in each section. All items featured are given collector values reflecting today's secondary market. Chipman's goal is to showcase the best the ceramic industry has to offer - the prominent and innovative studio-level produceers as well as the major manufacturers, including Batchhelder, Bauer, Kay Finch, Sascha Brastoff, Metlox, Vernon, and many others. 2002 values. 8.5 X 11.
This edition is a very good introduction to California pottery for the novice collector. The author took great care to cover many individual potters and provided clear photographs of signed pieces to identify. This is an older edition but is a good place for a novice to start researching identifying markers on California pottery while on a budget. If you are a person combing thrift stores and flea markets for vintage pieces, this book is a great reference starting point.
