I am in awe!! May 5, 2001

One of the most beautifully set up collector's books I have seen. The Hall China items are photographed and then all the backgrounds are eliminated and they are arranged "floating" on a solid color background.... just like a color version of a few old Hall China Catalog pages I have framed... only those "old" catalogs were in black and white... to have all the patterns shown in color and arranged this way is a tribute to the Whitmyer's artistry.

The scope and number of patterns shown was expanded and the wait for the new edition was worth it! The only complaint I have is the prices, especially on Autumn Leaf, seem to be a bit too low, and some items show values much lower than they regularly sell for on Internet Auction services. One can only hope to buy a Autumn Leaf batter bowl for $2,500!

Order it now, I think you will not be disapointed!

5 out of 5 stars An excellent reference for the Hall China collector... April 1, 2000

This is a great book. It has almost 300 pages of photos and illustrations of the popular collectable pottery made by Hall China of East Liverpool, Ohio. The Whitmyers give us a history of the pottery, a chart of color swatches to use to compare to our collectibles, and an extensive treatment of the various patterns and styles made over the years.

They cover the various dinnerware patterns: Ruffled D-Shape, C&D-Shape, E-Shape, the classic Eva Zeisel Shapes, and the Century & Tomorrow's Classic Dinnerware. They cover the kitchenware patterns, the refrigerator ware, the teapots and coffee pots, other products like the punch sets, and shed some light on re-issues and new products.

All in all this is an exhaustively thorough reference work, valuable for all, from dealer to novice. If you love collecting Hall China, don't hesitate to buy this book!
