Description:
This three-part volume begins with the history, emphasizing the contributions and innovations of the different owners of Metlox Potteries and exploring the major developments. Next is a massive section on the dinnerware lines, chronologically listing every item of each pattern by name and division. The backstamps and current values are also included, as well as manufacturing and a survey of the most collectible patterns. Finally, the artware lines: the famous Walt Disney figurines, Nostalgia Lines, Art Treasures of the World, Poppets and Toppets, and cookie jars, for example.
This new hardbound book also holds over 300 original Metlox color brochure and pamphlet pages and over 700 full-color photos showing the wonderful shapes and diverse patterns of the dinnerware lines and the multiplicity of the beautiful artware. In this second edition, Gibbs has revised all values to reflect the ever-changing market as well as added numerous photos showcasing recent discoveries
Publisher's Review:
This book shares a wealth of information concerning the Prouty years at Metlox. Although the first edition of the book included a full and complete survey of the Shaw years, this second edition delves more into the Prouty dinnerware and artware. Many new photographs and updated values are included.
