Customer Reviews

Outstanding Japanese Ceramics Book.

Outstanding book for amateur and serious collectors to enjoy - pieces are identified with text and superb coloured photos.

Large number of high quality color photographs

Of great interest to dealers and collectors of Japanese export ceramics, this book contains full color photographs of a large number of fine specimans of Imari, Satsuma, Banko and Sumida. Significant number of pieces from the Arts and Crafts period. Sections on markings, bibliography and valuations. I think the valuations are on the low side of current retail prices.
