title: The Collectors History of British Porcelain
author: John Cushion
description: This is a response from the British-based Antique Collector's Club to the typical international collector's inquiry, "What should I pay for antique porcelain?" Covering porcelain that dates from the late 18th through the 20th century, the book shows collectors how to evaluate a piece of porcelain to determine its date, type, maker, and likely market price. Registration designs and forms are indexed. Lavishly illustrated, this solid work is highly recommended for design, antique, and larger reference collections.<BR><I>- Joseph Hewgley, Nashville P.L.</I><BR>Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
