Book Description
'...one of the most friendly, easygoing and instructive books on the design movement' Chicago Tribune Arts & Crafts is one of the most influential design movements of all time, beginning in the late 19th century and still being explored by designers today. The Arts & Crafts ethos - rejecting mass production and industrialization in favour of individualism, simplicity, honest craftsmanship, respect for materials and good design - had a massive impact on the design of the early 20th century and transformed design sensibilities globally. This invaluable guide covers furniture, ceramics, silver and metalware, glass, textiles, jewellery, books and posters, and includes fascinating profiles of key designers such as William Morris, the Stickleys, Liberty & Co, Tiffany Studios, George Ohr, Rookwood and many more. It comes with a pictorial design directory, price ranges and a wealth of essential information for collectors and anyone wishing to follow William Morris's golden rule of Arts & Crafts: 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.'

Book Description
This successful series offers clear, accessible, easy-to-follow information to help the collector develop an appraiser's eye and a connoisseur's knowledge. At the heart of each book approximately 50 to 60 pairs of related objects are analyzed, compared, and evaluated to discover why one item is more valuable than the other. The factors involved may be age, rarity, intricacy of design, make, marks, provenance, or restoration. A veritable master class in appraising art pottery, this authoritative guide includes an introduction to the subject, covering such topics as buying and selling, materials, decorations, periods, and styles. All the key studios of American art pottery are featured including Paul Revere, Rookwood Grueby Faience, Dedham, Volkmar, and Taco.
