Publisher Description
This was the first full-color House of Collectibles book, and pulling it together was a lot of work but also a great deal of fun. Harry Rinker and I made a trip to Replacements, Ltd., in North Carolina, to do research for this book and the two others in the series, and that was an event in itself. I've never seen so many pieces of china in one place at one time! I have to admit, my china pattern is not in the top 500 -- obviously, it's a very well-kept secret an elite few of us are sharing!
-- Randy Ladenheim-Gil
Reader Reviews
As a novice dealer of new and antique dinnerware, this book has been an invaluable resource for identification and valuation. You will not learn a lot about any one manufacturer in this book because it focuses on the most desirable PATTERNS, featuring clear photos and basic pricing information. I find myself leafing through it often, even when I'm not looking for a particular pattern. If you don't specialize in one manufacturer's wares, but buy and sell a lot of different patterns, you really shouldn't be without this handy reference book. I hope Mr. Rinker will team up with Replacements to produce Volume II - The Top 1000 Patterns, 501-1000.
