Publisher's Note
This book documents and illustrates over 1,000 pieces of china, the Pickard trademarks, and old advertising with color photos and current collector values. It also includes over 150 brief artist biographies, patent information, a bibliography, and the various china associations. All known antique pattern names, as well as popular designs of anonymity are listed, many patterns never before identified. Due to the lack of a source of information on Pickard china, Alan Reed has devoted a decade of research on his own -- through interviews, letters, papers, U.S. Census records, and through other collectors. The history of the other Chicago studios and the artists from the 'golden era' (between 1894 and 1925) of handpainted china are included. 2000 values.

DEFINITIVE WORK ON PICKARD CHINA

Created: 16/01/11
This book is the product of extensive research by the author, and is the 'Bible' for anyone interested in Pickard China. While other materials may eventually supplement or summarize what's in the book, it's unlikely that there'll be another book in the near future that is as comprehensive as the book written by Alan Reed.

Collector's Encyclopedia of Pickard China

This is a great book on the history of the Pickard China company. The photos are excellent. I am a porcelain artist myself and find this book invaluable reference for examples of period designs. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in hand painted porcelain-not just the collector. A testament to the artistic industry that was once active in this country.
