Product Description
No other book is a better substitute for hands-on experience! Peering over the shoulder of antiques dealer and author, Mark F. Moran, readers are guided through the world of Roseville Pottery. Captivating history, thorough condition reports, real-world prices, reproduction alerts--this sweeping guide is more than a standard price guide. With detailed descriptions of the pieces listed--right down to the length of hairlines and the position of "flea-bite" nicks--this essential reference guide offers the most accurate information. More than 1,200 color photographs displaying the beauty and brilliance of Roseville pottery accompany listings. Very few examples of pottery survive for decades without at least minor wear and damage, and the prices in Warman's Roseville Pottery reflect this reality. Identifying and evaluating a collection and deciding whether or not to buy just got easier!

Useless to collectors October 10, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

The book states it is a price guide. The author had pictures of as many as 9 pieces being auctioned and vague discriptions of some with chips. Another example is a Donatello jardiniere (with chip repair) & pedestal $180-$220. A picture of a Donatello bud vase on the same page just over 6" is listed at $180-$220.Yet another jardinier on the same page (smaller than the one that includes the pedestal with a rim chip is $200-$250.Auction prices for multiple pieces & damaged items need to be kept separate.

I am not happy with my recent purchase of Warman's Roseville book. It does not provide a complete listing of suggested prices and many of the pictured pieces are described with damage along with a price. For example, hanging basket with "chip on handle." For a serious collector the book is not of much use and for the inexperienced collector the book is misleading--damaged pieces do not sell for anything close to what mint pieces sell for.

Great Beginner Collector's Guide July 12, 2005

Great book for a quick overview on Roseville pottery, the different patterns and price ranges. Not a complete book but a good quick reference for those just starting to collect.

buy this for the beautiful color photos! July 14, 2004

Though by no means a complete showing of every shape made for each design, it IS a very generous sampling of each design, with beautiful studio photographs cover to cover. That makes it a must-have for any Roseville lover- none of the ugly black and white catalogue page reprints. NOT so great for pricing information. The pieces are priced with their existing blemishes, which would make a perfect piece of the same design worth ?? how much ?? Also has price listed for the whole set, if the photo includes more than one piece. That is just not helpful when you want to put a value on one piece.
If not for the vague pricing information, I would rate this 5 stars- especially compared to other Roseville guides. Very helpful visuals in this one!
