About this product

Product Information

Joan Van Patten This book is the Nippon book for collectors and dealers. Nippon guru Joan Van Patten, author of a seven-volume series on Nippon porcelain as well as Nippon Dolls & Playthings, Celluloid Treasures of the Victorian Era, and two volumes of the Collector's Encyclopedia of Noritake, has produced the ultimate book on this popular Japanese porcelain. Historical information is included, as well as the different designs and techniques that were used. A variety of patterns, designs, decors, and various scenes are showcased. A big chapter on reproductions is also included, and hundreds of backstamps are shown. As the subtitle of the book suggests, this volume is arranged alphabetically by piece. As always, current collector values are provided for every item shown. Hundreds of photographs of vases, tea sets, candlesticks, trays, creamers, plates, urns, and many other types of dishes are featured. Joan Van Patten, co-founder and past president of the International Nippon Collector's Club, is a qualified, trustworthy source for every Nippon collector, and her books are always considered required reading.

Something old, something new. That's the case with this recent title. New information and photographs are mixed with material previously published....However, this is much more than a picture price guide. Historical information is supplemented by a section of frequently asked questions, there are tips for collectors and an extensive grouping of backstamps is shown.There's also a section on reproductions, showing authentic and fake marks side-by-side...-Antique Week

Gives very few dates of the marks shown. Not useful as a reference book.
I realize this is considered the "bible" of Nippon collecting. However, I bought it to try to identify the dates of various Nippon marks. Although it has several pages of marks, almost none of them have dates. And like most books of this type, there are way too many pages of examples of Nippon's art. It's nothing more than a coffee table book. Not valuable as a reference tool.

Van Patten's are THE BEST for NIPPON !!
The beauty and complete history of Nippon is so clearly explained in this book, you would have to be a dummy to not see the difference between the real thing and the fakes after reading this !!
