I’m pleased to announce the availability of the Third Edition of my book on Etruscan Majolica. The new edition is a larger format hardcover, with bigger photos and an updated price guide based on the most recent available auction results.
- Photos of all the known surviving examples of the company’s majolica output with descriptions and sizes, as well as examples of some of their other non-majolica wares including Ivory Ware (so-called albino majolica).
- 8 ½" x 11" size
- 156 full color, creatively designed, easy to read pages
- Includes a full color reproduction of the complete Etruscan Majolica 1884 Exhibition Catalogue including pages missing from other reprints.
- Complete color coded, referenced, easy to follow price guide with the latest prices from recent auction results
- Photos and biographies of the Griffen brothers, David Smith and William Hill.
- Description of the manufacturing process
- Photos of the Etruscan Works pottery.
- Timeline of the Phoenixville pottery.
- Index and Bibliography
- Photos and first hand interviews of the company workers.
- Contemporary accounts of the pottery from local newspapers
- Larger format from previous editions with color photos of important examples as well as alternate colorways of others
Of course, it has all the detailed information about the Phoenixville Pottery from the earlier books. It is the definitive book on the subject for anyone interested in American majolica pottery.
There is a link below to purchase the book on Amazon.com as well as in the right hand margin on this page. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful!
