With such a large variety and vast number of styles, patterns, series, and themes to choose from, Lefton China is fast becoming one of the most desirable, sought-after collectibles on the secondary market today. This authoritative volume spans the history of the company founded by George Zoltan Lefton in the late 1930s. George Z. Lefton had always admired the quality and workmanship in finer Japanese and oriental porcelain, and after the end of World War II he pursued business relationships in post-war Occupied Japan to export Japanese porcelain to America through his company. George was one of the first American businessmen to enter post-war Japan, and he worked with a Japanese-American named Nunome who helps him to arrange the commercial contracts and becomes his business agent in Japan. More than 900 photos document his many creations, from figurines to fine china teapots, ashtrays, and planters. The extensive photos catalog the many animal and figurine creations of Lefton, as well as specialty items such as banks, bells, cookie jars, hands, salt and pepper shakers, spiritual items, and vases. Complete descriptions and bottom marks, along with up-to-date prices, make this book an invaluable guide for both new collectors and those who have been gathering this china for years.
