Reader Reviews
Although I'm an Art Deco enthusiast, I'm not a collector of Art Deco ceramics, and don't have any plans to become one in the near future. I therfore might not be the most appropriate person to be writing a review for this book. Nevertheless, I thought this was a decent, if (as other reviewers have pointed out) brief primer on the artists and different manufacturers working with ceramics in the period. Although the color photographs of the pieces are excellent, I agree with fellow reviewers that a book with a larger scope might have been better suited for the subject matter, perhaps including more information and additional photos of a wider variety of pieces. Still, I think the purpose of the book seems to be more that of a well-informed introductory guide, which is indicated by the "Tips for Collectors" section at the end of the introduction. I doubt that a book intended for more serious and experienced collectors would have needed such a list. I think, therefore, that it fulfills this purpose more than adequately. I personally found particular enjoyment in its introduction on the Art Deco period, which I think is one of the most concise and yet also the most inclusive and accurate ones I have encountered. Despite its brevity, I think this is a perfectly adequate starting place for anyone interested in Art Deco or in starting a collection or study of Art Deco period ceramics. I also see it as a useful reference guide for more experienced collectors.
