Many of the names found on dinnerware are pattern names, rather than company names. Thousands of decals were used by dozens of companies - and sometimes the same decal was used by more than one company. Some companies, such as Harker and Homer Laughlin, are covered at great length; others, such as Frankoma, have only a page devoted to them. Where individual items are pictured, a value is given. Some backstamps are shown. -Old Stuff, October/November, 2005
Reader Reviews
Other than the photos, there isn't much here. It's very amateurish. Whole categories are missing -- there is barely a mention of "Fiesta" at all. Makes you think the publisher had an arrangement so as not to infringe on sales of their Fiesta books. There is no mention of Metlox. Also, while there is a price guide, it only lists the specific pieces that are shown in the photos, not all the pieces in the line. This is a major shortcoming. There should be some mention of pieces not shown. The book is also poorly organized, with ads from old magazines interspersed with original writing. It reminds me of an 8th grade book report. Spend your money elsewhere.
