Synopsis

This is the latest in the new series of all-colour specialist price guides dedicated to popular collecting categories. What to Look For covers the key points every new buyer should be aware of, such as what contributes to the trade value of a piece, how to recognize certain characteristics, what the important factories and designers are, how to date and identify an item (with illustrations of marks), and how to spot fakes. What to Pay covers the all-important issue of how much specific items are being sold for by dealers and auction houses. Over 1,400 full-colour items from a variety of sources are illustrated and valued, thereby providing a comprehensive look at what's available and how much collectors will pay. A broad range of pottery and porcelain figures is covered from 18th-century Meissen to 20th-century Royal Doulton. Popular categories such as Staffordshire and Wade are included, with something for every budget. Packed with practical collecting and market advice, it is a must-have addition to the figurine collector's bookshelf.
