Product Description
1150 extraordinary photos document the outstanding Art Deco and other porcelain fancyware made by the Noritake Company. Special chapters display exceedingly rare salesman sample pages and pochoir prints related to designs on Noritake fancyware items. Over 100 Noritake backstamps are shown, all in full color. The text includes the detailed centennial history of the Noritake Company available in English. Many interesting, previously unreported details about the growth of the company are presented in this essay which, almost certainly, is the most detailed history of the company available in English, together with rare historical photographs that show how and where Noritake porcelain was made. This is an essential book for anyone interested in Art Deco, 20th century porcelain, and, of course, collectible Noritake fancyware.

A Stunning New Feast of Noritake November 10, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

David Spain's new book, Art Deco Noritake & More, is filled to the brim with stunning photographs that bring to life more of the work of the artisans of Noritake...to savor slowly and deliciously. WOW!

In addition, to my delight, Spain has written a fascinating history of Noritake, highlighted with rare, early 20th century photographs..most never before published. I loved seeing the founders, the artists, the workers and their workplaces, the people of Noritake who created the magnificent porcelain fancyware and dinnerware avidly sought by today's collectors.

Spain's easy to master, revolutionary system for numbering Noritake backstamps is still a gem. Best of all, he's added more backstamps to the collection and has included documentation for some previously only thought to have been used by the Noritake Company.

New or old to Noritake collecting, or just looking for a gorgeous coffee table book or a special gift, you'll love this one.
