Oyster plates, platters, and servers produced in porcelain, majolica, faience, English ironstone, and French stoneware are displayed in over 475 beautiful color photographs in this Schiffer Book For Collectors Collecting Oyster Plates by Jeffrey B. Snyder. Ranging from the elegant to the everyday, these plates date from the mid-19th through the late-20th century. The informative and interesting text includes histories of the major oyster plate manufacturers including Minton, Wedgwood, Haviland, and the Quimper potteries among others, and their best works are shown in the superb photographs filling the pages of this fine collector book. Also included are an examination of manufacturer's marks, a discussion of the ceramic and glass oyster plate forms and decoration, current market values in the captions, an extensive bibliography, and an index. Author Jeffrey B. Snyder is an experienced writer, editor, and public speaker who has discussed antiques on radio and television alike. He has appeared several times on Martha Stewart Living, Antiques Roadshow, and was recently seen on WHYY TV's PBS special Philadelphia: Workshop of the World.
