What people are saying...

M.M.: Italian Pottery Marks From Cantagalli To Fornasetti,I predict, will be an instant best-seller among those who buy, sell, and collect fine ceramics. Until now, identifying Italian pieces from this very important period (1850-1950) was a crap shoot; few books contain information on these ceramics, and most of those are in Italian, rare, and pricey.The scholarship and bookcraft are excellent -- it looks as good as it reads! In sum, this reference is a valuable contribution to the appreciation of Italian pottery and porcelain of that period, and will interest collectors of later work as well. A vade mecum for sure!B. B.: To date, there is no other book offered in English for the pottery collector or dealer to reference for Italian pieces. This remarkable book has been long overdue in the pottery world and is most welcomed among the community of dealers and collectors alike. To the authors' credit, the book reads quickly and is easily absorbed. This is a MUST HAVE book for any pottery/ceramic reference library! This is a two thumbs up and five star review with kudos to the authorsM.B.: I can now spot fakes, recognize the masters, and have started a collection of 19th and 20th century Italian ceramics that I hope one day will be shown in one of Walter and Karen's books. I applaud their efforts and am eternally grateful to them for opening me up to a world previously unknown. Anyone interested in Italian ceramics or 19th and 20th century ceramics in general should purchase this book. I guarantee you will not regret it.P. J.: I've been trying to identify this piece for over a year. I opened your book and there was the mark! Thank you for Italian Pottery Marks from Cantagalli to Fornasetti! G. G.: This little book is very useful for quickly looking up Italian marks. It's small but has more marks than much larger and more expensive books. I'm happy to have added this book to my pottery reference library.C.F.: I learned about your book while searching on eBay from another seller! I received it today. It is all I hoped it would be.Thanks so much for filling a much needed resource of information. Now that I have become an official Italian pottery fanatic, I will be shopping with your book in my handbag at all times.A. F.: This is the most informative book I have found on Italian Pottery Marks. Excellent pictures of Italian marks. I have been able to identify many Italian marks with this book. It is a must for the Italian Pottery collector or dealer. Also includes some very fascinating Italian history. Love it!!M. M.: And they have made another winner. Like its predecessor, this work is the only such in English and provides, most importantly, a thorough pictorial index of dated makers' marks for the many potters of Faenza. The work is rounded out with introductions to some of Faenza's best contemporary studios, a selective bibliography of publications and websites, and - perhaps most useful to the novice collector - beautifully illustrated examples of Faenza's common motifs and decorations. The authors are to be praised for their continued fervent dedication to scholarship and art and congratulated upon another bravura performance. Those of us who buy, sell, and collect Italian ceramics are grateful for this work and look forward avidly to the rest of the series!J.L.: Thanks so much for writing this book. I love the abandon that the Italians put into their ceramic works. Since buying your book, I've picked up several pieces that I might otherwise have passed up
