Product Description
Thousands of collectors will rejoice in this new guide to the products of Ceramic Arts Studio in Wisconsin. From 1942 to 1955, the pottery focused on the production of slipcast figurines which are avidly collected today. In over 250 color photographs Mike Schneider captures the beauty and charm of these figurines, providing a reference that has long been needed by collectors. The photographs are accompanied by a wealth of useful information including the history of the company and hints on care, repair, preservation, valuing, fakes, and reproductions. The figurines are organized by type with sections on People, The Animal Kingdom, Fantasies, Posy Pots, and Decorating the Walls. A Price Guide is included.

What Doesn't This Genius Write About? February 21, 2000
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have no idea how one person can shove all of this vast knowledge into one brain, but Mike Schneider does it...and does it repeatedly. He masterfully depicts the Ceramic Arts pieces with stunningly clear and crisp photographs (taken by the author). The dialogue in the book goes beyond normal collectible books and surpasses some of the novels I've read recently. Bottom line--this book is an asset to any collector, as are Schneider's other books (9 in all--on 9 differing subjects...WOW! )

Good, but wanted more information January 17, 1998
Excellent photos; was disappointed that it did not include values for additional pieces in sets he discussed. For example, I have 3 of 4 ballerinas he discussed but he did not give a price for one I have that he didn't. I am looking forward to his next edition.

Wonderful Color Photos with Price Guide December 25, 1997
I had no idea of the variety or quality of figurines that Ceramic Arts Studio Pottery made. This book is packed with lots of color photos and useful information! This is a must have book for dealers and collectors of people and animal figurines made in the USA!
