European Majolica

by D. Michael Murray

Overview

Over 350 color photographs of European majolica illustrate this book - but don't be fooled, this is not merely a book of photographs. The author has included detailed textual treatments of all identifiable makers of majolica, as well as a value guide for all pieces shown in the book. Useful information on the location, preservation, and collecting of European majolica is also provided. European Majolica shows the reader how to identify majolica produced in the German states, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland, and explains the combinations of initials and numbers which have baffled collectors for years, enabling the reader to properly identify the maker of his or her majolica.
