This pioneering book Dresden Porcelain Studios: Identification & Value Guide is dedicated to the many Dresden studios that were in business in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Harrans, antique dealers who specialize in continental and English porcelains, present historical information about the city of Dresden and the porcelain decorating studios there. They describe what the porcelain is, and how it is made and decorated. They also discuss the history and marks of the six largest Dresden studios and some of the smaller ones, samples of their products, and the fair market price range. The Harrans, authors of two editions of Collectible Cups & Saucers, have fully researched the Dresden studios which were mostly destroyed during World War II. This book contains more than 550 color photographs, as well as illustrations and original catalog pages of fine Dresden. The book includes background information on the town of Dresden, descriptions of the manufacturing and decorating processes are provided, and there are sections on Helena Wolfsohn, Carl Thieme, Donath & Company, A. Lamm, F. Hirsch, and R. Klemm. For each studio discussed, the authors provide historical information, style, forms, marks and photos. There is a section on Dresden lace figurines, collecting tips, a discussion on reproductions, a bibliography, and an index.
