AMERICAN ART POTTERY by Lucile Henzke, Schiffer Publishing Ltd., PA, 1970/1982.
Brief histories of American art potteries are given, with "thorough accounts of their products. Description of the lines will aid in attribution, and identification of the marks of individual potters and designers will provide much new, hard-to-find information." Among the artists and studios represented in separate sections are: Fulper, Chelsea, Dedham, Weller, McLaughlin, Cincinnati, Wheatley, Rookwood, Pauline, Avon, J.B. Owens, Greuby, A. Radford, Roseville, Lonhuda, Cambridge, Peters and Reed, Zane, Newcomb, Van Briggle, Buffalo, Gates, Tiffany, Maria, Paul Revere, McCoy, Arequipa, Cowan, Jugtown, Frankoma (Christmas Memorial Plates), various tile companies such as American Encaustic Tiling Co., Mosaic, Cambridge and Moravian. A glossary and index conclude the text. Illustrated in both color and black and white, this comprehensive survey of American art pottery through the first three-fourths of the 20th century will be of interest to collectors, ceramists, and art historians as well as interior decorators, industrial designers and enthusiasts of general Americana.
