Collector's Encyclopedia of Metlox Potteries: Identification and Values begins with the history of Metlox Pottery, emphasizing the contributions and innovations of the different owners of Metlox Potteries and exploring the major developments. Next is a large section on the dinnerware lines, chronologically listing every item of each pattern by name and division. The marks and current values are also included, as well as manufacturing techniques and a survey of the most collectible patterns. Finally, the book provides full descriptions of the artware lines: the famous Walt Disney figurines, Nostalgia Lines, Art Treasures of the World, Poppets and Toppets, and cookie jars, for example. About 1934, the company began producing ceramic housewares, and the famous Poppy Trail line was introduced in that same year. Other well known patterns are Red Rooster, Colonial Homestead, and Homestead Provincial. As one of the pioneers of California pottery excellence, the Collector's Encyclopedia of Metlox Potteries: Identification and Values by Carl Gibbs relates the fascinating story and high quality of Metlox production over the years. This new hardbound edition also holds over 300 original Metlox color brochures and pamphlets and over 700 full color photos, and it's an invaluable guide and resource for any collector of vintage pottery, ceramics, and kitchenware.
