Antique Majolica Around the House by Schiffer Publishing

Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing

From grand jardinieres to diminutive butter pats, this book features ceramic majolica that added vibrant color to every room of the home in over 450 brilliant color photographs. Majolica wares are organized here by the rooms (library, conservatory, drawing room, boudoir ...) in which they were used, including cake stands, comports, game pie dishes, oyster plates, platters, and strawberry servers, tea sets, humidors, match holders, garden seats, umbrella stands, vases, and an elegant chandelier. The major manufacturers from Britain, Europe, and the United States, including Minton, George Jones, Sarreguemines, Wedgwood, and Griffen, Smith & Hill are all well represented. A brief history of majolica, a detailed bibliography, and an index are included. Current market values are found in the captions.[AuthorName]Jeffrey B. Snyder[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Jeffrey B.
