Josef Originals have long since been favored by collectors as they explode with color and sparkle with life. Unique designs of dogs, cats, people, and more are featured throughout this book, making it a wholly enjoyable collector's guide. This is new information Josef enthusiasts have been seeking for years. Over 600 color photos of 850 figurines made from the 1940s to the 1980s, an informative text, descriptions, and current value ranges provide the reference no figurines collector can be without., Ceramic figurines of beautiful and romantic young women were made in hundreds of different poses and costumes by Josef Originals. This all-color illustrated, revised and expanded edition follows the art of California ceramicist Mauriel Josef George from 1945 through 1985 with over 700 color photographs. Also included for the first time are photos of Applause figurines next to the matching earlier figurines, and never before published catalog images from the authors' private collection.

  • Good reference with nice pictures

    The book is a good reference for the figurines however there are more figurines than what is shown or listed. I would have like to have seen it be more comprehensive for the amount I paid for it.
