Reviews

Nadolski has produced an oustanding contribution to the literature on the history and identification of pewterware. Abundantly illustrated with examples relating to the detailed text, this collector's delight focuses on the functional products created by pewter craftsmen between the 14th and 19th centuries. Following an introduction on the pewterers' trade, chapters are grouped by purpose, from tableware to personal and household articles. Included is a table of 695 identifying marks of towns, masters, houses, and assorted subjects. Highlighted in the margins are quotes from a variety of period documents. Highly recommended.
