Special focus is given to the many styles, and different glazes, as well as reproductions to be aware of in the market. An unbelievable amount and variety of items are featured in this fun, colorful book - from ashtrays to wall pockets, figurines, pincushions, planters, souvenirs, bookends and much more. 1998 values. AUTHORBIO: Carole White is the author of a four-volume series on Made in Japan Ceramics. She also wrote Collector's Guide to Lunchboxes and Glass & Ceramic Baskets.
