Hundreds of pieces of such patterns as Etruscan Shell and Seaweed, Fern, Sunflower, Begonia, Lettuce Leaf, etc., are documented and illustrated. Collectors will find the reproductions of authentic marks and back stamps presented in this book to be absolutely indispensable." This rare out-of-print book is a collector's item in itself and an invaluable resource reference work for the collector, dealer, or historian of American majolica.
