Desing is always good coponent in certain culture. this book provide you wonderful materials to get to know thedesign which just belong to CHina.

Book has been VERY helpful w/collecting Royal Albert cups/saucers. Especially helpful is the English china registeration list of dates. Thanks for a great reference source.

This book was my first porcelain reference book and I purchased it with the idea of identifying and dating items in my growing cup and saucer collection. It did not disappoint me. It doesn't have all the marks(an impossible feat), but it is an excellent reference and I use it extensively! I highly recommend this as an important addition to the library of any one collecting porcelain!

Whether you collect McCoy, Hull, or Royal Doulton, you will find information about the marks on your pottery and porcelain here. Well designed, well written, loaded with examples, and even some histories of manufacturers. Great all around reference.

Rather than focusing on silk ribbon embroidery or crazy quilting, this book's focus is on the author's life. It should be classified as an autobiography rather than a needlework book. There are some very nice pictures of her handiwork throughout the book, but not enough to warrant purchasing the book.

I think this is a great book for stitchers. Judith Baker Montano describes her creative process (not an easy thing to do), and in doing so gives the reader plenty of ideas for expanding their own creativity. Her life is not separate from her work, and she shows us how to use our life experiences to enhance our own work. I loved this book.

Beautiful Art! The pictures are wonderful ! Great instuction!
