Product Description
Long considered the essential reference for collectors, this classic book and its companion volume have now been heavily revised and updated to more accurately represent today's market activity. Shape numbers and original company information have been added and the pricing structure has been extensively elaborated, giving not only values for items pictured, but also for all colors and sizes for each known style and shape. The informative text has been expanded, bringing insight and background that have come to light since 1976. Almost 150 color photos and over 60 vintage advertisements and catalog pages showcase the more than 800 pieces, providing detailed visual identification along with essential information such as size, shape numbers, glazes, and marks. Special sections on factory marks and artist signatures combined with a useful index make this the ultimate reference for collectors. 2003 values. AUTHORBIO: After writing their first book, The Story of Fiesta, published in 1974, the Huxfords became pottery editors for Collector Books and in that capacity wrote several other books on various Ohio potteries: Roseville Pottery, McCoy Pottery, Brush-McCoy Pottery, Weller Pottery, and Roseville Pottery, Volume II. Since 1982 they have been editors of Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide; Schroeder's Collectible Toys; Antique to Modern; Garage Sale & Flea Market Annual; and Wanted to Buy. REVIEW: This revised edition is brought to you by the authors of the bestselling McCoy, Weller, and Fiestatitles, Bob and Sharon Huxford. It is a revamped edition of their original bestselling Roseville Pottery title that was published in 1976 and has become a standard among collectors.

For the serious collector November 13, 2006
1 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is a well organized reference to Bush-McCoy. It contains a history of Bush-McCoy; this added knowledge adds to the fun of collecting and allow you to sound more like you know what you are doing. Then there are pages on the different "marks" of the pottery. There is a dated value guide. But I find it easer to do my own comparing. The big plus is the color pictures that show what is available. For those discriminate people that do not just buy anything that says Bush-McCoy there is an index. It is also fun to see you Bush-McCoy pieces in the book.

The baseline for Roseville Art Pottery April 24, 1999
44 out of 49 found this review helpful

The Huxfords are wonderful authors that have offered, collectors of Roseville Art Pottery, a basic foundation for identifying various Roseville lines. No one author [I personally author a mid-year price guide]has all the answers, but each of us attempt to add to the ongoing data base. The Huxford volumes are an essential tool for Roseville collectors and Dealers.

Certainly not an "encyclopedia " of all Roseville Pottery. September 2, 1998
31 out of 45 found this review helpful

I purchased both the first and the second of the Roseville series by Sharon and Bob Huxford, hoping that I would get a complete guide of all Roseville pottery with prices. Unfortunately the "encyclopedia" was not complete. I guess this is how the authors sell books by not putting together a definitive book on Roseville.
